Recorded monuments

• WX040-083 Burnt mound
  Description

  Located on a gentle E and NE-facing slope, with the headwaters of small streams that flow c. 450m NE to the NW-SE River Corock c. 100m to the NE and SE. This is an oval mound (dims. 16m N-S; 11m E-W; H 0.4m) composed of broken and burnt stones with a grass covering. Burnt mound (WX040-084----) is c. 230m to the S. It can be seen as a dark stain on the aerial photographs of Google Earth (2010). 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: 21 February, 2013

• WX040-084 Burnt mound
  Description

  Located on a gentle E and NE-facing slope with the headwaters of small streams that flow c. 650m NE to the NW-SE River Corock c. 140-180m to the NE and SE. This is a D-shaped spread of broken and burnt stones (dims. 18m NW-SE; 16m NE-SW) visible in a ploughed field and truncated by an ENE-WSW field bank at SE. Burnt mound (WX040-083----) is c. 230m to the N. It is visible as a dark stain on the aerial photographs of Google Earth (2010). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

• WX040-087 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a slight E-facing slope in the valley of the N-S Corock River, with the meandering stream c. 160-220m to the E. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) defined by a single continuous fosse and with one internal pit is visible on aerial photographs (MM (46) 18-20). A magnetic gradiometer survey (20R0129) over an extensive area confirmed the existence of the rath but with no significant internal features (Nicholls 2020, F 19, Figs 9, 22). However, an entrance gap (Wth c. 3m) at S was also detected. See the enhanced view from Nicholls (2020, Fig. 9).

• WX040-095 Moated site
  Description

  Located on a gently undulating shelf in the valley of the N-S Corock River, with the meandering stream c. 300m to the E. The cropmark of a rectangular enclosure (int. dims c. 40m N-S; c. 25m E-W) defined by two sets of ditch or moat features (ext. dims c. 55m N-S; c. 40m E-W) is visible on aerial photographs (ASIAP (436) 22, 23) and on digital aerial photographs (WX040-095_1 to _6) taken in 2006. A magnetic gradiometer survey (20R0129) over an extensive area confirmed the existence of the moated site, and also recognised the drains of a field system directly related to it extending off to the N and E which covers about 4 ha (c. 10 acres) (Nicholls 2020, 9 F 24-29, Fig. 9). The fields are generally rectangular (dims c. 30m x c. 20m to c. 60m x c. 50m) defined by single ditches and with regimes of cultivation ridges usually confined to individual fields.

• WX040-095001 Field system
  Description

  Located on a gently undulating shelf in the valley of the N-S Corock River, with the meandering stream c. 200m to the E at the closest point. A magnetic gradiometer survey (20R0129) over an extensive area confirmed the existence of the moated site (WX040-095----), and also recognised the drains of a field system directly related to it extending off to the N and E which covers about 2.5 ha (c. 7 acres). The fields are generally rectangular (dims c. 30m x c. 20m to c. 60m x c. 50m) defined by single ditches and with regimes of cultivation ridges usually confined to individual fields. These fields merge into larger rectangular fields usually defined by double ditches further to the N and E that are depicted on the 1839 edition of the OS 6-inch map.

• WX040-103 Ring-ditch
  Description

  Situated on a NE-facing slope, with ta N-S section of the Corock River c. 250m to the ENE. A magnetic gradiometer survey (20R0129) over an extensive area identified a small enclosure (diam. c. 15m) defined by a fosse, with an opening (Wth c. 5m) at SE. There may be two or three internal pits, but the defining ditch appears to cut the ENE-WSW cultivation ridges that run parallel with the present shorter field banks. This could be a relatively modern feature. (Nicholls 2020, 8 F 14, Figs 7, 20) See the attached view from Nicholls (2020, Fig. 7 right) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 30 December 2020

• WX040-104 Burnt mound
  Description

  Situated on a slight E-facing slope. A magnetic gradiometer survey (20R0129) over an extensive area identified a subcircular feature (dims c. 15m x c.12m) with a strong magnetic susceptibility, which may indicate a possible burnt mound or fulacht fia.

• WX040-105 Burnt mound
  Description

  Situated on a slight E-facing slope. A magnetic gradiometer survey (20R0129) over an extensive area identified a subcircular feature (dims c. 20m E-W; c. 10m N-S) with a strong magnetic susceptibility, which may indicate a possible burnt mound or fulacht fia.

• WX040-106 Enclosure
  Description

  Located on an E-facing slope. A magnetic gradiometer survey (20R0129) over an extensive area identified an enclosure (diam. c. 32m) defined by faint interrupted sections of a fosse overlaid by traces of field banks that are depicted on the 1839 edition of the OS 6-inch map. (Nicholls 2020, 11 F 35, Figs 11, 24) See the attached view from Nicholls (2020, Fig. 11) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 30 December 2020
