Recorded monuments
- WX034-070001 Burnt mound
Description
Located on a slight W-facing slope with the headwaters of a N-S stream c. 180m to the W. An oval area of burnt and fire-cracked stones (dims. 14m x 9m) is visible when the area is ploughed. Burnt mound (WX034-070002-) is c. 40m to the NNW. 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: 13 September, 2012
- WX034-070002 Burnt mound
Description
Located on a slight W-facing slope with the headwaters of a N-S stream c. 180m to the W. An oval area of burnt and cracked stones (dims. 12m x 7m) is visible when the area is ploughed. Burnt mound (WX034-070001-) is c. 40m to the SSE. 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: 13 September, 2012.
- WX035-049001 Church
Description
Marked faintly as a rectangular structure (dims. c. 20m NE-SW; c. 10m NW-SE) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle SW-facing slope at the point where the land falls away to the valley of a small SW-NE stream at the point where the stream turns SE. John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 360) records that the foundation courses of a church were then visible. There is no visible traces at ground level of church within a rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 40m NW-SE; c. 30-45m NE-SW) defined by earthen banks and hedges, apart from a cairn (dims. 7m x 3m; H 1m). The site of St Colman's Well (WX040-002----) is c. 40m S of the graveyard. Archaeological testing (13E0076) in the field immediately to the E (McLoughlin 2013) identified many archaeological features including pits, gullies and ditches, and recovered pottery of a late 12th century or 13th century date. A ditch (Wth c. 2m; D 0.7m plus) c. 50m E of the graveyard and apparently centered on it could be an ecclesiastical enclosure. 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: 15 October, 2012
