- WX016-058: Fulacht fia, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX016-058----. Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Quarry 2 (Hardy et al. 2010, 50). It is situated at the bottom of a SW-facing slope with an E-W stream 20m to the S and a smaller NE-SW stream is c. 40m to the N. The smaller stream meets the larger c. 90m to the W. It was completely excavated (E4261) by Y. Whitty as a spread of broken and burnt stone (dims 8m E-W; 4m N-S; T 0.1m) lying over a rectangular trough (dims 2.25m E-W; 1.4m N-S; D 0.4m) that appeared to cut a subcircular feature (dims 1.4m E-W; 1.1m N-S; D 0.1m) at N. A pit (dims 0.95m x 0.6m; D 0.3m) was 3m SSW of the trough. All the features contained burnt mound material, but a sample from the S pit proved to be modern. (Hardy and McNamara 2012; Whitty 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 26 November, 2013
- WX016-059: Hearth, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX016-059----. Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Quarry 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 49-50). It is situated towards the bottom of a W-facing slope. It was excavated (E4353) by M. McNamara as a circular layer (diam. 0.65m; T 0.05-0.07m) of grey-black silty sand with some stones and charcoal over a slightly scorched subsoil. There were no other features other than a N-S drain (Wth 0.5-0.6m; D 0.4m) just to the W, which is thought to be post-medieval, but the date of the hearth is not known. (Hardy and McNamara 2012; McNamara 2013) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 26 November, 2013
- WX016-073001: Flat cemetery, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX016-073001-. Situated on a slight W and NW-facing slope down to the meandering SE-NW Tinnacross Stream, which is c. 70m to the SW, and c. 200m E of where the stream changes course to the SW. Two urn burials and several pit burials were identified in testing (E004551) land required for the M11 Motorway (Ruttle 2014, 7-8), and the cemetery and cereal-drying kiln (WX016-073002-) c. 6m to its SE were subsequently completely excavated (E004560). The northern inverted cinerary urns was in poor condition and was block lifted for excavation and conservation in laboratory conditions, but four pit burials (diam. 0.38-0.6m; D 0.17-0.44m) and four other pits, two groups of stake-holes, and deposits of burnt material were also present. The cemetery extended over a fairly small area (dims 15m NE-SW; 10m NW-SE) and a silted post-medieval field ditch (Wth 0.8-0.85m; D 0.3m) ran NE-SW c. 3m to the NW of the cemetery. The southern urn was inserted into the upper yellow pebbly silt and the lower charcoal-rich grey silt fills of a larger subrectangular pit (dims 0.74m x 0.54m; D 0.28m). There were three pit burials to the N of it together with a group of four closely-set stake-holes and three others. Two other pits with copious charcoal but no bone were S of this urn burial. About 9m to the NE of the southern urn was the northern urn burial with a large pit-burial (diam. 0.69-0.76m; D 0.15m) c. 1m to its NW and two other pits as well as eight stake-holes in its vicinity.

- WX016-073002: Kiln - corn-drying, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX016-073002-. Situated on a slight W and NW-facing slope down to the meandering SE-NW Tinnacross Stream, which is c. 70m to the SW, and c. 6m SE of the flat cemetery (WX016073001-). Both monuments were identified in testing (E004551) land required for the M11 Motorway (Ruttle 2014, 7-8), and were subsequently completely excavated (E004560). The flat cemetery was unrelated to the key-hole type cereal-drying kiln which was visible as a large pit (max. dims 4.68m NE-SW; 2.36m NW-SE; max. D 0.64m) that was partly rock-cut at the SW end. The fire-bowl at the NE end had a fire-reddened base and was filled by two layers with charcoal. The flue and drying bowl were filled with a dark sandy silt with stones and charcoal. Amongst the stones was a saddle quern, and a possible grinding stone was in the sealing layer of brown silty sand with stones (Ruttle 2015, 11-12).

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
