- WX007-002 Standing stone
Description
Marked only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the bottom of a N-facing slope with a slight NW-SE stream in its valley c. 80m to the SW. It was described in 1940 as having a square cross-section at the base (dims c. 0.4m x c. 0.4m; H c. 1.6m) that swelled above the ground line but which was damaged at the top where a large section (H c. 0.6m) appears to have been removed (OSFM). It was not visible at ground level in 1987. 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. Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 21 November 2012

Description
Situated on a rise in the valley of a S-N stream, which is c. 100m to the E. This site was excavated (E3505) during 2005 as Site 45 of the N11 Gorey to Arklow link. There were six charcoal-rich spreads (diam. c. 1.6-1.7m; T 0.1m), five of which were in shallow pits (D 0.1-0.22m) filled with clays that contained charcoal flecks and sometimes burnt stones. Some flints were recovered from unstratified contexts. (Martin 2008) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 16 March, 2012
