Recorded monuments

• WX025-011 Church
  Description

  Situated on a rise towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope with a SW-NE stream c. 130m to the SE. This is the parish church of Rossdroit within a subrectangular graveyard (dims. c. 60m NE-SW; c. 45m NW-SE) defined by a stone-clad earthen bank E-S including an extended graveyard around the present St. Peter’s Church of Ireland church that was built in 1795 (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 539). According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 John Hughes was the curate, and the church and chancel were in need of repair (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 272). The extensively restored E and W gables of the medieval church survive (int. L 16.2m; int. Wth c. 7.8m) but the N and S walls are missing. There is a crude window in the E gable, but the arch of the embrasure is of dressed granite. A fragment of an ogee-headed window is beside the E gable. The widening of the N30 New Ross to Enniscorthy road 50-150m NW-NE of the church led to the discovery and excavation of numerous archaeological features (WX025-011001- to WX025-011010-). 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: 4 Sep. 2013

• WX025-011001 Field boundary
  Description

  Situated on the N side of the church (WX025-011----), and excavated (04E0329) as part of site 1 on the N30 improvement scheme. This feature (C115) is probably a boundary ditch of a fairly consistent character (Wth 1.5m; D 1.2m) with steeps sides, a flat bottom (Wth 0.5m), and five fills. There is no evidence of an accompanying bank but it is broken for an entrance (Wth c. 2m) at one point, and lies in the low ground at the base of the rise on which the church is situated (L c. 150m). It post-dates all the other structures it encounters in the excavation, except the house (WX024-011007-).

• WX025-011002 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on the E-facing slope of a rise. A geophysical survey (06R0206) conducted in the area surrounding the church of Rossdroit (WX025-011----) NE-SE recorded evidence of an enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40-42m) c. 75m E of the church.

• WX025-011003 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated on a rise towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope with a SW-NE stream c. 130m to the SE. The parish church of Rossdroit (WX025-011----) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims. c. 60m NE-SW; c. 45m NW-SE) defined by a stone-clad earthen bank E-S but it also includes an extended graveyard around the present St. Peter’s Church of Ireland church that was built in 1795 (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 539). Archaeological testing (20E0425) c. 100m to the SW identified an NW-SE ditch (Wth 2.9m; D 1.2m) that produced no dating material but is probably related to the church enclosure (McLoughlin 2020). The ditch is now preserved under a layer of geotextile, and the necessary monitoring of further groundworks was completed by Y. Whitty (2020) under the same licence in October 2021 when no other archaeological material was encountered. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 3 July, 2012 Amended: 9 November 2022

• WX025-011004 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Situated around the base of the rise on which Rossdroit church (WX025-011----) is located, and at the bottom of a SE-facing slope. A magnetic gradiometer survey conducted in the area NE-SE of Rossdroit church (WX025-011----) produced evidence of a large enclosure ditch (Wth c. 3-5m) NE-ENE of the church (C. c. 130m), which if complete would place the church and graveyard at the extreme W end of a large enclosure (dim. c. 250m E-W). The enclosure (WX025-011002-) and numerous other ditch features together with possible pits and hearths are within the ecclesiastical enclosure, but the excavated features associated with the N30 re-alignment are all outside it to the N.

• WX025-011005 Hut site
  Description

  Situated at the base of a SE-facing slope and on the N side of the rise around Rossdroit church (WX025-011----). Excavation (04E0396) at Site 1 as part of the N30 re-alignment recorded an arc of seven post-holes enclosing a space (diam. c. 7.5m) which had an inner ring of four posts. There were numerous stake-holes inside the inner ring but a hearth may have been in the S half of the structure, which was disturbed by the existing N30 road. Pottery finds suggest a Middle Bronze Age date. (Ó Maoldúin 2004, 5, Structure 1; 2007, 468) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 July, 2012

• WX025-011006 Structure
  Description

  Located at the bottom of a SE-facing slope on the N side of Rossdroit church (WX025-011----). Excavation (04E0396) at Site 1 as part of the N30 re-alignment recorded a concentration of stake-holes (dims. c. 5m E-W; c. 4m N-S) with some larger features, but no structural post-holes were identified.

• WX025-011007 House - 18th/19th century
  Description

  Located at the bottom of a SE-facing slope on the N side of Rossdroit church (WX025-011----). Excavation (04E0396) at Site 1 as part of the N30 re-alignment recorded the N wall (T 0.75m) of a house (ext. dim. 9m E-W) of unknown width. An outer parallel depression is probably a drain. Its beaten earth floor overlay two E-W concentrations of stake-holes, and the house extended over the ditch (WX024-011001-). Ceramic finds suggest a mid 18th century date.

• WX025-011008 Hut site
  Description

  Located at the bottom of a SE-facing slope and c. 150m NE of Rossdroit church (WX025-011----). Excavation (04E0396) at Site 1 as part of the N30 re-alignment recorded a group of 12 stake-holes, 7 post-holes, two hearths and a pit in a concentration (diam. c. 5-6m) that was disturbed by the two ditches of a later field bank, but a hammer-stone was recovered. (Ó Maoldúin 2004, 6-7, Structure 4; 2007, 469) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 July, 2012

• WX025-011009 Structure
  Description

  Located at the bottom of a SE-facing slope and c. 150m N of Rossdroit church (WX025-011----). Excavation (04E0396) at Site 1 as part of the N30 re-alignment recorded a group of three large post-holes (diam. c. 0.5m) with straight sides that are placed in a square 1.5-2m apart. A fourth post-hole may have been removed by a later ditch. However, a slightly smaller post-hole in the area but c. 2.5-3m distant from any of the others may have been part of what was a ritual structure, although no artefacts suggest this.

• WX025-011010 Field system
  Description

  Located at the bottom of a SE-facing slope and c. 150m N of Rossdroit church (WX025-011----). Excavation (04E0396) at Site 1 as part of the N30 re-alignment recorded sections of field ditches in the area N of the church that could belong to various field systems, but some of them could relate to the church and its ecclesiastical enclosure (Ó Maoldúin 2007, 4-5). The geophysical survey (06R0206) conducted by Earthsound in the area NE-SE of the church also recorded numerous ditches from field systems.

• WX025-021 Moated site
  Description

  Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 55m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle S-facing slope. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims. 35m N-S; 31m E-W) with raised edges (int. H 0.1-0.2m) defined by infilled moats (Wth 8-13m; D c. 0.4m) visible everywhere except at the SE corner.
