Recorded monuments

• WX022-021001 Church
  Description

  Located at the N end of a short N-S ridge. St. Mochonóg is thought to have founded an early church at Kilmuckridge (Ranson 1948 100-01), but this is likely to be the church in Killincooley (WX028-003001-). The site of the parish church of Kilmuckridge is within D-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 45m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by a masonry wall. According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 Donal McMurlogh was the priest, and the church and chancel were in repair (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 271). The old church was pulled down c. 1820 according to John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 225) when the present Church of Ireland church was built. There are no visible remains of the old church at ground level, apart from a fragment of a window mullion (H 0.4m) acting as a grave-marker in the graveyard that would suggest a late medieval date. The cross (WX022-022----) is on the W side of the road c. 100m to the S and Bride's Well (WX022-023-----) is c. 460m to the SW. 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: 31 June, 2012 Amended: 4 Sep. 2013

• WX022-021002 Graveyard
  Description

  Located at the N end of the summit of a short N-S ridge. The site of the parish church of Kilmuckridge (WX022-021001-) is within D-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 45m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by a masonry wall. There are no visible remains of the old church at ground level apart from a fragment of a window mullion that would suggest a late medieval date for the church. Archaeological testing (22E0182) by D. Shine in an area (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 60m E-W) and c. 50m to the W at the closest point produced no related material (excavations.ie 2022:512).

• WX022-022 Cross
  Description

  Situated on the W side of the road c. 100m S of Kilmuckrige church site (WX022-021001-). This is a Latin cross in granite (H 0.92m; Wth of arms 0.5m) with an inscribed Maltese cross at the intersection and parallel incised lines on shaft and arms. (Ranson 1945, 53; 1948, 100–101) 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: 18 June, 2012

• WX022-023 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Described as 'Brides Well' in Gothic lettering on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map. John O'Donovan, writing c. 1840, denies that there is any holy well in Kilmuckridge (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 225). It is located on a shelf on the SW-facing slope of a N-S ridge with a NW-SE stream c. 200m to the W. It was removed c. 1970 and nothing is visible at ground level in a scrub-covered area. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 18 June, 2012

• WX022-025 Castle - motte
  Description

  Situated at the E end of a low W-E spur with a slight N-S stream flowing around the base of the spur NE-E-S c. 100m distant. The sea-shore is c. 2 km to the SE. Strongbow granted Kilmuckridge to de Borrard for two kinghts fees and the motte can be attributed to de Borrard (Colfer 1987, 96, No. 20). This is a grass and scrub-covered, flat-topped earthen mound (diam. of top 22.5m; diam. of base c. 36m; H 6.5–7m) with an earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H 1m) at summit SW-N-E and a complete flat-bottomed fosse (D below exterior 1.8m at W to 3m at N) at the base. There is an outer bank (Wth c. 2m; ext. H c. 1m) SW-NW. A rectangular bailey may have existed in the flat overgrown platform (dims. c. 30m N–S; c. 30m E–W) immediately to the N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).
