- WX040-083: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX040-083----. 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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX040-084----. 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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX040-087----. 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). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 18 February, 2013 Amended: 30 December 2020
- WX040-095: Moated site, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX040-095----. 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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX040-095001-. 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. (Nicholls 2020, 9 F 25-29, Fig. 9) See the attached view from Nicholls (2020, Fig. 9) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 30 December 2020

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

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. (Nicholls 2020, 9 F23, Figs 9, 22) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 30 December 2020
- WX040-105: Burnt mound, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX040-105----. 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. (Nicholls 2020, 11 F 33, Figs 10, 23) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 30 December 2020
- WX040-106: Enclosure, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX040-106----. 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

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.
