Recorded monuments

• WX035-050 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Marked as a bivallate embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 65-70m) circumscribed by farm lanes NE-S-W on the 1839 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a slight S-facing slope. This is a raised circular, scrub-covered area (diam. 43m E-W) defined by an eroded earthen bank (at N: Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.4m) and external fosse (at N: Wth of top 4m; D 0.3m) NW-NE that is altered (Wth 2.5m at E to 6.5m at W; int. H 0.7-0.8m; ext. H 1.2-1.4m) by a retaining wall and by a surrounding road NE-S-NW. There is no visible entrance. The remaining fosse NW-NE was removed between 2005 and 2012 (OSI images). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 15 October, 2012 Amended: 25 June 2020

• WX040-005 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Marked only on the 1925 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is situated on a broad plateau with a slight S-facing slope. This is a circular area (diam. 33-34m) in mixed woodland defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5-8m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.2-1.8m) with a complete fosse (Wth 6.3-7.7m; D 0.4m at W to 1.1-1.3m generally), and a slight outer bank (Wth 5.5m; ext. H 0.5m) NW-NE that may be a secondary feature. A berm (Wth 4.5m) separates the fosse from a slight outer bank (at W: Wth 5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2.2m) and an outer fosse (at W: Wth of top 6.8m; ext. D 0.7m) that survives SSW-WNW. The entrance and causeway (Wth 3.5m) through both original banks is at SSW. Archaeological monitoring (15E0412) of a gas pipeline c. 20m to the W in Area 9 produced no related material (Sutton 2018; excavations.ie 2015:422). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

• WX040-007 Structure
  Description

  Depicted faintly as a rectangular structure (dims c. 20m E-W; c. 10m N-S) and described as the site of an Abbey in gothic lettering on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map. It was known as Abbeybraney (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 364; O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 355) and is situated on an E-facing slope with a N-S stream c. 50m to the E. Tintern Abbey (WX045-027001-) is thought to have had a grange here (Grattan Flood 1915, 5) and the Grange of Kylemore with 120 acres is amongst its possessions at the Suppression in 1541 (White 1943, 359). Kyle is the townland immediately to the E, but there is no evidence of any structure at ground level in rough pasture on the grounds of the old Abbey Ville house, and there is no reason to think it might be a church. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 19 February, 2013

• WX040-092 Structure
  Description

  Located at the S tip of a N-S spur, at the crest of a S-facing slope and overlooking the meandering NW-SE Owenduff River that is c. 350m to the W and c. 210m to the S. It is also c. 140m SW of the ruins of Abbey Ville House, although the farm buildings of the latter intervene. This is a rectangular structure (dims c. 5m x c. 5m) of two storeys with the first floor recessed externally. It is a pigeon-house associated with Abbey Ville House, and is described as such on a map dated 1822 of the estate of Anthony Cliffe at Abbeybraney by Sherrards, Brassington and Green (pers. com. Damien Murphy, 01/11/2021). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 February, 2013 Amended: 2 November 2021
