Recorded monuments

• WX015-078 Cremation pit
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Myaugh 3 (Hardy et al. 2010, 68). It is located on a slight SE-NW spur with a SE-NW section of a small NE-SW stream c. 230m to the NE. When completely excavated (E4230) by M. McNamara it proved to be the bottom of a large rectangular pit (dims 3.7m NW-SE; 2.2m NE-W; D 0.2m) with a fire-reddened base and four charcoal-bearing fills, and it might be interpreted as a cremation-pit. A smaller pit (diam. 0.9m; D 0.25m) was located 1m S, which may have held a marker-post. A worked flint, and burnt bone were recovered from the fill of the larger feature, and a grinding stone was found in the topsoil.

• WX020-061 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular hachured feature (ext. diam. c. 25m) and located in the valley of an E-W stream which is just to the N. It was recorded in 1939 as a subcircular area (dims c. 27m E-W; c. 25m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m at N to 1-1.5m generally), which was truncated slightly (L c. 6m) by a N-S field bank at W (OSFM). In 1987 it is described locally as a mound, but nothing is visible in scrub at ground level. 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: 23 November, 2012

• WX020-068 Moated site
  Description

  Located on a fairly level landscape in the valley of a small E-W stream which is c. 50m to the S. The cropmark of a rectangular enclosure is visible on aerial photographs (MM (33) 26–9). It is visible on the ground as a raised rectangular area (dims. c. 40m NW–SE; c. 35m NE–SW) in a cereal crop defined by a fosse or moat (Wth c. 3–5m) on the W on the N sides. A N-S laneway cuts across the SE corner. It is also visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth (2018) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

• WX020-079 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Myaugh 2 (Hardy et al. 2010, 6-8). It is located on a slight S-facing slope, which had a small E-W stream c. 50m to the S that is now diverted into an E-W ditch c. 20m to the S. An extensive area was excavated (E4163) by M. McNamara when about 57 post-holes, 74 pits, two hearths and two possible cremation burials (dims 0.35m x 0.35m; D 0.04m: 0.48m x 0.42m; D 0.06m) were recorded. Worked and unworked flint, prehistoric pottery, hammer and rubbing stones and a saddle-quern were recovered throughout the site, and there were some very large pits (diam. 3.15m; D 0.72m: 5.8m x 3.33m; D 0.87m). Although the features probably represented domestic activity no structures were identified and further features could survive outside the excavated area. The burnt mounds (WX020-080001-; WX020-080002-) are c. 50-60m to the S. (Hardy and Rajic 2012; McNamara 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 November, 2013

• WX020-080001 Burnt mound
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as a part of Myaugh 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 66). It is located in the E-W dip of a small E-W stream that was just to the N but is now diverted into d drain c. 20m to the N. It was excavated (E4236) by M. McNamara when two burnt mounds were recorded. The W mound (dims 7.6m E-W; 6.1m N-S; T 0.05-0.25m) was cut by two drains, but a palaeochannel (Wth 1.6-2.9m; exposed L 14.5m) curved around it SE-N-NW and separated it from the burnt mound (WX020-080002-) c. 20m to the E. The burnt spread (WX020-078----) is c. 200m to the WSW in Tinnacross townland, and the pits and other features (WX020-079----) are c. 60m to the N.

• WX020-080002 Burnt mound
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as a part of Myaugh 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 66). It is located in the E-W dip of a small E-W stream that was just to the N but is now diverted into a drain c. 20m to the N. It was excavated (E4236) by M. McNamara when two burnt mounds were recorded. The E mound (dims 9m E-W plus; 4.9m N-S plus; T 0.25m) overlay two circular pits (diam. 0.85m; D 0.25m: 0.6m; D 0.12m) at the SE edge of the excavation, but they may have been troughs. The mound and pits are only partially excavated and survive outside the excavated area to the SE. Two lines of stake-holes extend NW (L 1m) and WSW (L 1.1m) from the pits, and a palaeochannel (Wth 1.6-2.9m; exposed L 14.5m) separated this site from the burnt mound (WX020-080001-) c. 20m to the W. The pits and other features (WX020-079----) are c. 60m to the N. (Hardy 2012; McNamara 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 28 November, 2013
