• WX030-018 Moated site
  Description

  The fortress or mota of William Ace, from which the townland name ‘Palace’ could be derived, is mentioned in the description of the boundary of Ross wood in 1231-34 (Orpen 1934, 55; Colfer 1982, 58). There is no motte at Palace but a moated site could have been intended. An oval feature (dims. c. 55m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE) is depicted faintly on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and described as ‘site of Palace’. It is situated at the bottom of an E-facing slope with the headwaters of a S-N stream c. 140m to the NE. This is a slightly raised grass-covered rectangular area (dims. 23m N-S; 21m E-W) defined by slight traces of moats (Wth 3-5m; D 0.1-0.2m). It is in a field now called ‘Oldtown’. Archaeological testing (18E0161) of about 6.5 ha (c. 15 acres) of the field c. 30m to the S produced no related material (Shanahan 2018; excavation.ie 2018: 242). 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: 16 August, 2012 Amended: 26 October 2020
