## Designated sites (National Parks and Wildlife Service)

No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Lake.

## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- WX047-028: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX047-028----. Situated in a fairly level landscape. This is a probable Catholic church of the Penal era that is marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map in a field that is known locally as the church field. It was thought locally in 1940 that the church, known as ‘Chapel Larden’ or ‘Sarden’, was in use until c. 1800-1820 (OSFM), and it is described as a Mass House by Grattan Flood (1915, 69). A slightly raised rectangular platform (dims. 9.7m E-W; 7.2m N-S; H 0.3m) is visible, but there is no surface evidence of an enclosure or burial. Archaeological testing (07E0530) identified the clay-bonded wall (Wth 0.6-0.7m) of the church and uncovered a fosse or ditch (Wth 1.5-1.8m; D 0.7m) that pre-dated the platform (diam. c. 30-35m). Coarse medieval ceramics were recovered from the ditch and the enclosure may have had an entrance at NW where a terminal is recorded. No burials were recovered. (Stafford 2007, 4, 5; Stafford 2010) 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: 16 October, 2013
- WX047-028001: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX047-028001-. Situated in a fairly level landscape. The probable Penal church (WX047-028----) is within an enclosure identified in archaeological testing (07E0530) when a fosse or ditch (Wth 1.5-1.8m; D 0.7m) that pre-dated the church platform (diam. c. 30-35m) was uncovered. Coarse medieval ceramics were recovered from the ditch and it may have had an entrance at NW where a terminal is recorded. No burials were recovered. (Stafford 2007, 4, 5; Stafford 2010) Comiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 16 October, 2013
- WX047-127: Field boundary, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX047-127----. Situated on a level landscape. The cropmark of an unmapped field bank is visible on aerial photographs (MM (7) 25-8). It extends S from an E-W field bank and curves W and N to meet a NE-SW field bank. This creates a large sub-oval field (dims. c. 120m NE-SW; c. 80m NW-SE) enclosing c. 1 ha. 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: 16 October, 2013
- WX047-156: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX047-156----. Situated on a level, low-lying landscape. The faint cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 40m N-S; c. 25m E-W) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on the W side of a N-S field bank and townland boundary with Tullybards Great on aerial photograph (ASIAP (436) 17). Compiled by: Michael Moore Dae of upload: 16 October, 2013

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
