- WX019-007 Moated site
Description
Located in a fairly level landscape with a slight slope down to the NE. This is a rectangular overgrown area (dims. c. 35m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defined by earthen banks (Wth 4-5m; int. H 0.9-1.5m; ext. H 2.6-3.2m) with external flat-bottomed moats (Wth of top 6.8-7m; D below exterior 0.5-1.6m). There is an entrance (Wth 1m) in the bank on the NE side, and there is a modern spoil bank outside the permeter at NW. (Barry 1977, 223, WX 85) 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: 22 May, 2012

Description
Situated on the E-facing slope of a slight N-S ridge. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) with a gap through the defining fosse feature at SE is visible on aerial photographs (MM (57) 34-36). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 22 May, 2012

Description
Situated at the bottom of a NE-facing slope and on the W bank of a N-S stream known as Pullinstown Stream. Monitoring of topsoil removal (E004646) during the construction phase of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy motorway in September 2016 identified archaeological deposits which were subsequently completely excavated (E004786) as Monart East 1. A spread of burnt mound material overlay a layer of silty sand which was lying on natural peaty clay. There were some spreads of wood in the peaty clay layer and some of these had the marks of a metal tool. Two troughs were partly beneath the circular mound (diam. 6m; max. T 0.11m) and were cut into the silty sand. An oval trough (dims 2.4m x 1.6m; max. D 0.6m) at N had a basal fill of peat beneath a silt. A second oval trough (dims 3m x 1.8m; D 0.28m) was beneath the SE extent of the mound and was filled with a layer of marly peat and gritty sand over a lense of charcoal. Oak and hazel were the dominant species in this sample followed by blackthorn and ash. A sample of hazel from this layer produced a C14 date of 3540+-30BP or 1955-1767 cal. BC. One artefact, a rubber for a saddle quern, was recovered from the silty sand beneath the mound. (Turrell and Kavanagh 2018) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 November 2020
