• WX030-019 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Marked as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 50-60m) with a N-S stream and townland boundary running through it on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The greater part is on the E side of the stream in Templenacroha townland, and it is located in a broad N-S valley. It is described as a rath, the E part of which was removed in 1984 when a quern stone and oak timbers from an entrance area at SE were recovered. The timbers produced a dendrochronological date of 766 AD or slightly later (NMI file). It is visible as a cropmark of a D-shaped area (diam. c. 44m N-S) backing onto the N-S stream at W on aerial photographs (ASIAP. WX 69, 6 11). On the ground traces of the in-filled fosse survive (Wth 4-6m) at E, and on the W side of the stream it survives but is overgrown and appears to have no inner bank while the fosse (at NW: Wth of top 4.5m; int. D 0.2-0.6m; ext. D 0.7m) has a slight counterscarp bank (at NW: Wth 3.5m; ext. H 0.4m). An outer fosse, separated from the inner by a berm can be traced E-S (max. ext. dim. c. 100m). Enclosure (WX030-020----) is c. 20m to the E. 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: 16 August, 2012

• WX030-020 Enclosure
  Description

  Marked as a subrectangular or D-shaped embanked or moated enclosure (ext. dims c. 45m E-W; c. 40m N-S) with a curved edge at N on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in a N-S valley. It is not visible at ground level in pasture and does not appear on aerial photographs (ASIAP. WX 69, 6-11) which show the cropmark of rath (WX030-019----) that is c. 20m to the W. 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: 16 August, 2012

• WX030-022 Church
  Description

  The name Templenacroha suggests an ancient church dedicated to the Holy Cross (Grattan Flood 1915, 3; Orpen 1934, 59). A small rectangular structure (dims. c. 15m N-S; c. 10m E-W) is marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and described as the 'Site of Church'. It is situated on a rise of a broad plateau. This is a small triangular, grass-covered area (dims. c. 50m E-W; c. 40m N-S) with the apex at N defined by field banks at NE and NW and by an E-W road at S. There are no visible remains of any structure, enclosure or burial at ground level. A millstone had been found on the site, and the site is regarded locally as a children’s burial ground. It is also thought locally that the roads run through the site, so that the enclosure (WX030-023----) on the S side of the road could be part of the church site. A geophysical survey conducted for the Raheen Development Association and aided by the Heritage Council produced evidence of a fosse forming an arc at the W edge of the triangle W-N. Within the triangle the survey provided evidence of a large rectangular masonry structure (dims. c. 20m E-W; c. 13m N-S) that is robbed in places. It was divided into a long N chamber (L c. 20m; Wth c. 5m) and had a chamber (dims. c. 8m N-S; c. 6m E-W) at the SE angle.

• WX030-022001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  The church of Templenacroha (WX030-022----) could be within an ecclesiastical enclosure that would include the enclosure (WX030-023----) c. 30m to the SE on the other side of an E-W road. A geophysical survey conducted for the Raheen Development Association and aided by the Heritage Council produced evidence of a fosse forming an arc W-N at the W edge of the triangle where the church is located.

• WX030-023 Enclosure

It is not visible at around level in pasture, and it may be a part of the church site (WX030-022----), c. 30m to the NW on the other side of an E-W road. 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: 16 August, 2012

• WX030-024 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  Marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35-40m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6 inch map, and located towards the S edge of a broad plateau. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. 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: 16 August, 2012

• WX030-036 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as Tobernacrohaneebha – the Well of the Holy Cross. It is situated in a slight fold on a gentle S-facing slope and at the bottom of an E-facing scarp. It is surrounded by drystone walling (diam. c. 2m) and water runs off to the S, but there is no evidence of veneration. Lady’s Well (WX030-037----) is c. 30m to the SSW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 August, 2012

• WX030-037 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as Lady’s Well, although the earlier map shows numerous springs. It is situated in a slight fold on a gentle S-facing slope and at the bottom of an E-facing scarp. The well is a clay-cut hollow (diam. c. 2m) surrounded by some quartz stones and obscured by bushes. It is now dry and there is no evidence of veneration. Tobernacrohanebha Well (WX030-037----) is c. 30m to the NNE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 August, 2012

• WX030-038 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

  Marked faintly as a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 30m N-S; c. 25m E-W) incorporating a field bank SE-NW on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is not visible at ground level in a cereal crop but is visible as a cropmark enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a fosse feature NW-SW and the field bank elsewhere on aerial photographs (MM (3) 35-6). 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: 16 August, 2012 Amended: 2 May, 2014

• WX030-040 Ringfort - unclassified
  Description

It is not visible at ground level in pasture, apart from a curve in a field boundary N-SE (C c. 50m). 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: 16 August, 2012
