• WI047-009 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Situated on level ground with a gentle slope and extensive views to the S. A substantial 16th-century tower house now incorporated into a late 18th/early 19th-century Georgian Gothic house. The tower house consists of the main four-storey tower and a large adjoining angle tower with a turret, which forms one angle of the present building. The modern entrance, in the angle between the tower house and angle tower, is the original doorway into the original building itself, through a two-centred granite arch. There is another turret on the tower house at the NW corner. To the N of the entrance at second-floor level is a machicolation, while garderobe chutes are visible in the external face of the tower on the opposite side. It is still occupied. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008

• WI047-018 Rock art (present location)
  Description

  The stone marks the entrance to a housing estate, and has the estate's name 'Coves Brook' and the year '1999' carved on one side. There are a number of large granite boulders placed in various points in the green areas of this estate, and it seems most likely that they were all found during the construction of the estate. Therefore, the rock art itself may have come from quite close to its present location. The general aspect here is of a S-facing slope with good commanding views S, towards Slieveboy in Co. Wexford. The granite boulder (dims. L 1.6m; Wth 1m; T 0.8m) is now placed on its edge, with the decorated side now on a vertical face, but originally the stone was most likely positioned so that the decoration occurred on the upper horizontal surface of the stone. The stone was probably formerly earthfast, and plough marks that score the edge of the decorated surface suggest that only a small portion of the boulder originally protruded above the ground surface. Most of the decoration occurs on a relatively flat face. There are two double ring and cup motifs (cup diams. 5cms; D 1.5 - 2cm; enclosing rings ext. diams 12cm and 18cm). There is another cup with traces of a ring (ext. diam. 20cm across) but it is unclear if there is also an inner circle in this case. There are also some six cup marks scattered across this face, while the surface of the stone rises above the flat surface at one side, and there are two further cups on this ridge. (The unknown original location of this monument is designated WI047-018001-.)
