• WX011-015 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on the level floor of the valley of the NE-SW River Bann, with the stream c. 170m to the NW. The cropmark of roughly square enclosure (ext. dims. c. 50m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) with two parallel enclosing features is visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: BDJ 67; MM (52) 28). No feature is visible at ground level in pasture. 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: 12 April, 2012

• WX011-016001 Linkardstown burial
  Description

  Marked as a scrub-covered feature (diam. c. 25m) on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a N-facing slope of the valley of the NE-SW River Bann with the stream c. 420m to the NW. A mound (diam. c. 35m; H c. 3m) was being removed in 1949 when a cairn of stones (diam. c. 8m; H c. 1m) surrounding a Linkardstown-type cist was uncovered, and investigated. The cist was alinged NE-SW and consisted of four stones leaning inwards (dims. of top 1.26m x 0.36m; dims. of base 1.6m x 0.5m; H 0.65m). Above the side-stones were corbels and a single oval roofstone (dims. 1.25m x 0.8m; T 0.1m). The cist contained the inhumed remains of a single individual, but it is not known whether the burial was crouched or extended, and fragments of a bowl, with incised decoration of Neolithic character (Eogan and Herity 1977, 107, Fig. 27,4). The cairn had been covered by the mound, which had been surrounded by a shallow fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.3m) that might not have been original. Nothing is visible now at ground level just outside the NE angle of a farm complex. The church (WX016-003----) was c. 90m to the WSW, but completely unrelated. (Lucas 1950) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

  Description

  The Linkardstown-type cist (WX011-016001-) was within a cairn of stones (diam. c. 8m; H c. 1m) and this was beneath an earthen mound (diam. c. 35m; H c. 3m), which may have been added at any time, and which had been surrounded by a shallow fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.3m) that might not have been original. Neither the mound nor the cist survies. (Lucas 1950) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12 April, 2012
