Recorded monuments
- WX041-034 Moated site
Description
Marked faintly as a rectangular feature (dims c. 30m ENE-WSW; c. 25m NNW-SSE) and described as the site of a castle in gothic lettering on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. References date from 1600 when land at Tullycanna was held by the Neville family (Jeffrey 1979, 89 90), and Walter Neville owned the castle and 180 acres at Tullycanna in 1640 (Simington 1953, 142). It is situated on the E side of the valley of a N-S stream, which is c. 120m to the W. It is visible as a rectangular cropmark enclosure (int. dim. c. 50m) defined by two banks and fosses on aerial photographs (MM (8) 19-23; (48) 28-31), but it is not visible at ground level in a cereal crop. Archaeological testing (20E0098) by D. Shine c. 100m to the NNE failed to produce any related material (Shine 2020 excavations.ie 2020:029). 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.

- WX041-035 Church
Description
Located towards the S end of a broad N-S ridge. There is a local tradition of the former existence of a church here. There are no visible remains of a structure, enclosure or burials at ground level in a pasture field, although the field bank and townland boundary with Knockbine to the S curves SE-W (diam. c. 35m). The name Tullycanna - Tulaigh Uí Chionaoith or Ó Cionaoith’s hillock, contains the family name Ó Cionaoith who were a medieval ecclesiastical family in Ferns diocese. When Tullycanna was forfeited by Walter Neville in the 1650s (Simington 1953, 142) a church is indexed as in Tullycanna as well as the castle and the mill (ibid. 164). The land at Tullycanna reverted initially to the Protestant Bishop of Ferns, which further suggests that Tullycanna had always been Church land (pers com. Conchubhar Ó Crualaoich 27/11/2020). 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: 21 March, 2013 Amended; 27 November 2020
