No designated site (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, Natural Heritage Area or proposed one) touches the townland of Scar.

## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- WX046-007001: Castle - tower house, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWX046-007001-. References to the castle of Scar date from the 17th century when it was held by the Bryan family (Jeffrey 1979, 87 8). The castle and 180 acres at Skarr were held by Nicholas Bryan in 1640 (Simington 1953, 145). He was awarded 80 acres in Connaught in 1656 (Hore 1900-11, vol. 5, 504). The castle is situated towards the top of the S-facing slope of a broad, low hill. This is a rectangular tower (ext. dims 8.85m N-S; 7.25m E-W) of four floors surviving to the wall-walk (H 10.4m). It has granite quoins and a base-batter on the walls. A lintelled doorway (Wth 1.19; H 1.98m) towards the N end of the E wall lacks machicolation which may be destroyed, but it is protected by a murder-hole in the lobby. From the lobby a lintelled doorway (Wth 1.06m; H 2.04m) leads to the ground floor (int. dims 5.4m E-W; 4.35m N-S), which has a blocked embrasure in the N wall, two blocked embrasures in the W wall, and a blocked embrasure at the W end of the S wall. A lintelled doorway at the E end of the S wall appears to be original but is probably secondary and would have led to the attached house rather than the outside. A secondary doorway has also been inserted into an embrasure at the S end of the E wall. There is no evidence of corbels to support the wooden ceiling, but numerous joists were set directly into the E and W walls, probably representing post-abandonment use. Steps intrude into the entrance lobby from the mural stairs which rises in the E and N walls to the lintelled doorway (Wth 0.58m; H 1.78m) of the first floor under the N-S vault. There is a doorway in the S wall, which would have led to the first floor of the attached house and which is probably expanded from a window. The mural stairs continue to the second floor over the vault (int. dims 5.7m N-S; 4.95m E-W), which is entered through a lintelled doorway (Wth 0.67m; H 1.8m) at the W end of the N wall. The E wall has a blocked and inserted window at N, a robbed fireplace at the centre, and a destroyed window at S. The S and W walls have blocked windows with the remains of seats, while the remains of a garderobe chamber (int. dims 1.14m x 0.66m) are the NW angle. There is a slopstone on the W wall over a hollow structure (ext. dims 2.9m N-S; 0.9m E-W; H 3.4m) attached to the W wall at the ground floor that may have collected the effluent. Corbels to support the ceiling survive in each wall, except the S. A linetelled doorway (Wth 0.72m; H 1.95m) at the E end of the N wall leads to a mural stairs in the N wall, and a lintelled doorway (Wth 0.62m; H 2.08m) at the centre of the N wall gives access to the third floor, which has damaged or blocked window embrasures with seats in the S and W walls, and two damaged window embrasures in the E wall, but there is no evidence of a fireplace on this floor. The stairs continue in the N wall to the destroyed battlements. Offset to the W (by 1.65m) of the tower house on the S side is a two or three storey fortified house (ext. dims 16.52m N-S; c. 8.05m E-W), of which only the W wall (H c. 6m) with a base-batter, and a part of the S wall with a projecting chimney flue (ext. dims c. 0.5m N-S; 2.35m) survive. The W wall appears not to have been bonded to the tower house, and the house was revamped at some stage as the walls are severely altered with brick. Some windows in the W wall, which are now blocked, are inserted. There is evidence of three lights on the ground floor, but the only original and complete feature is a rectangular window with a chamfered surround. There is no evidence of a bawn, although a stone-lined circular well (diam. c. 0.6m; D c. 5m) that is now covered is NE of the tower house and may have provided water for it. 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: 20 August, 2013

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
