Recorded monuments

• WX025-043001 Church
  Description

  This site is not recorded on any map, but it well known locally. It is situated in a broad low-lying col between low hills c. 1km to the W and SW and the SW end of a low ridge c. 500m to the E. The headwaters of a small N-S stream are c. 180m to the E. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims. 23m E-W; 19m N-S) with a cairn (dims 8m N-S; 4m E-W; H 0.4m) containing quartz stones. Also present are the head of a round-headed window in granite and two large granite voussoirs with a chamfered edge, probably from a pointed doorway. There is no evidence of any structure, enclosure or burial, although it is known principally in the local folklore as a graveyard (IFC: Schools' Collection vol. 0901, 236). Two portions of an eight-sided cross from this site are at a nearby house (WX025-058----), and a stone cresset from Moneyhore (Moore 1988, 112), presumably from the site, is now in the collection of County Wexford Museum. 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: 3 July, 2012 Amended: 19 September 2019

  Description

• WX025-043003 Cross - Churchyard cross
  Description

  Two portions of an eight-sided cross from Moneyhore church site are at a nearby farmyard (WX025-058----). One piece (L c. 0.75m) has 8 facets (Wth 12-13cm; L 52-54cm) but is probably unfinished with a roughly square base (38cm x 35cm; H 15-20cm). Another portion built into the wall of an outhouse (L 67cm) has a pyramid stop. Both fragments are probably from the same late medieval cross. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 July, 2012
