Recorded monuments

• WX002-004001 Castle - motte and bailey
  Description

  Situated on a rise on the floor of a closed valley with higher ground all around within 400m - 1.2 km, and overlooked by Kilcash church (WX002-001001-), c. 800m to the NNE. It is marked on the 1841 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a mound (diam. of base c. 40m) with a subcircular enclosure (dims. c. 30m NW-SE; c. 20m NE-SW) just to the SW. It is described by Kinahan (1879-88, 154–5) and Westropp (1904, 321) as a motte and bailey, and Kinahan records a midden (WX002-052----) in the fosse of the motte at SW. Orpen (1907, 136; 1911, 270–71) regarded it as the inauguration site of the Uí Cinsealaigh, and it is very likely that it was used in this manner with a prehistoric mound at its core (FitzPatrick 2004, 91-2, 104). However, it may have been adapted later as a motte and bailey, which would be its final manifestation. It is not visible at ground level as it has been removed by quarrying. Standing stone (WX002-004003-) and the cist and pit burials (WX002-004002-) are at the same location. 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: 27 January 2012

• WX002-004002 Flat cemetery
  Description

  Three urns in cists were discovered in levelling the possible bailey at Loggan Lower motte and bailey (WX002-004001-). Another was found near a standing stone (WX002-004003-) (Kinahan 1882, 154–5), which appears to have been S of the bailey (Westropp 1904, 343). Further cists were found c. 300m to the W, but the precise locations of these discoveries cannot be identified. (Waddell 1990, 157) The abovr description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

• WX002-004003 Standing stone
  Description

  A standing stone, identified as 'Leac Mhic Eochadha' and associated with the inauguration site of the Uí Cinsealaigh at Loggan, was located close to the motte and bailey (WX002-004001-) according to Orpen (1911, 210–11). This identification is not completely certain due to the Irish phraseology of the sources. However, the stone was still being used as an assembly point as late as 1592 when landholders from areas in the Kinsellaghs (just north of Gorey), Kilcheele (Mac Vadock’s Country) just west of Gorey in which Leac Mhic Eochaidh itself lay), and the Macamores (east and south of Gorey – modern-day Ballaghkeen North) met here with the Lord Deputy Henry Sidney to seek title deeds under English law (pers. com. Conchubhar Ó Crualaoich). Many of those involved had already done this at early dates. Cist burials (WX002-004002-) were discovered nearby. The location of the stone is not known exactly and it does not survive, but it appears to have been S of the bailey (Westropp 1904, 321). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

• WX002-052 Midden
  Description

  According to Kinahan (1879-88, 155) there was a midden in the fosse around the motte (WX002-004001-) at SW, or in the area immediately adjacent. It was disturbed when a field bank was made around the fosse, and a gold ring was reputedly discovered at the time. The ares is now quarried.
