Recorded monuments

• WX020-005001 Church
  Description

  Described as the site of Kildenis church on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and located on the NW-facing slope of a slight NE-SW spur of Ballydonigan Hill, the summit of which is c. 1.5 km to the ENE. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 40m NE-SW; 30m NW-SE) with some trees defined by a scarp SW–NE, with portion of a bank at NE. A vegetation change (Wth at SW: 5.5m) at the base of the scarp may indicate a silted fosse but the site is truncated by a NE-SW road at SE. There is no visible evidence of a church at ground level and there is no evidence of burial. A bullaun stone (dims 0.83m x 0.45m; H 0.5m) within a single basin (dims 0.32m x 0.26m; D 0.2m) is at the centre of the enclosure. 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: 31 May, 2012

• WX020-077 Flat cemetery
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Tinnacross 2 (Hardy et al. 2010, 69-70). It is situated on a level landscape with a small NE-SW stream c. 150m to the NW. It was completely excavated (E4229) by M. McNamara when three cremation pits, two with possible marker-posts, were recorded within 1.5-2.5m of each other. The pits (dims 0.65m x 0.65m; D 0.1m: 0.82m x 0.75m; D 0.15m: 0.4m x 0.25m; DS 0.12m) contained burnt bone and flecks of charcoal. The second and third burials were cut by oval pits (dims 0.75m x 0.82m; D 0.15m: 0.9m x 0.75m; D 0.2m) and a third pit (dims 1.15m x 0.65m; D 0.4m) was c. 5m to the NW. Two of the cremation pits have post-holes adjacent that might have been used to mark the graves. The charcoal spread (WX020-078----) is c. 90m to the E.

• WX020-078 Burnt spread
  Description

  Identified in centre-line testing (E4110) in advance of the M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy road scheme and set aside for resolution as Tinnacross 1 (Hardy et al. 2010, 69). It is situated on a level landscape with a small stream running SE-NW c. 110m to the NE and running E-W c. 125m to the N. It was completely excavated (E4228) by M. McNamara as a single spread of charcoal-rich clay (dims 1.65m x 1.6m; T 0.06m) that may be prehistoric but which produced a copper-alloy spoon on its upper surface. The prehistoric flat cemetery (WX020-077----) is c. 90m to the W and the burnt mounds (WX020-080001-; WX020-080002-) are c. 200m to the ENE in Myaugh townland.
