Recorded monuments

• WX044-002001 Promontory fort - coastal
  Description

  Located on a S-N promontory jutting N into the river Barrow/Nore/Suir, with a SE-NW ravine on the E side. This subtriangular grass-covered area (dims. c. 200m NE-SW; c. 170m N-S) is sloping down to the rounded apex at N, and it is defined by the river SW-N-NE and the ravine at E. The landward side is defined by an earth and stone bank (L c. 175m; Wth 9.5m; int. H 2m; ext H 2.2m) and outer fosse (Wth of top 5m; int. D 0.3m; ext. D 1.2m) on the S side. There is a slight berm (Wth c. 1.5m) between the base of the bank and the fosse, and there is evidence of stone cladding on the outer edge of the fosse. The fortified church (WX044-002001-) is within the promontory fort. (Westropp 1918, 14 15) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

• WX044-002002 Church
  Description

  Situated on a N-facing slope within the promontory fort (WX044-002001-). This is a fortified church of the 15th century dedicated to St. Catherine. It was a chapel-of-ease in Dunbrody parish, and probably served a grange or out-farm of the Cistercian abbey (WX039-030001-). It is a rectangular structure (int. dims. 12.95m E-W; 6.25m N-S) surviving almost complete, except most of the N wall. The E (T 0.95m) and W walls have a base batter but the S wall (T 0.9m) has none. There are opposing doorways towards the W end of the long walls, that on the N was pointed (du Noyer 1864-6, 32-4) but is now destroyed, while the S doorway (Wth 0.9m) is lintelled. There was a small ogee-headed niche on the outer face of the N wall c. 1.5m off the ground and just E of the doorway that du Noyer interpreted as a shelf for a lantern. There are two rectangular windows with glazing bars and grooves in the S wall E of the doorway, but a rectangular window to the W of the doorway is destroyed. The E window has two lights with cusped ogee heads and tracery above with glazing grooves. The tracery is confined within a rectangular frame. A lintelled doorway at the N inner end of the W wall leads to a mural stairs in the W wall, from which a lintelled doorway leads to a gallery or chamber which has a fireplace in the W wall. This floor was supported on corbels in the N and S walls and a single corbel survives at the W end of the N wall. The mural stairs continue in the W wall to the wall walk at the SW corner, but the parapet is completely destroyed. There is no indication of an enclosure or burial associated with the church.
