• WI012-009 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a gentle E-facing slope. Oval enclosure (dims. 31m E-W; c. 25m N-S) defined at the W by a field boundary and at the S by a slight earthen bank. The remainder of the site is defined by a low scarp. A second field boundary crosses the site from E-W. No trace of a fosse, entrance or internal features. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. 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

• WI012-010 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated in low-lying poorly drained terrain. A large oval enclosure (dims. c. 200m N-S; 100m E-W) shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, of which only part of the E perimeter survives. This consists of an earthen bank (Wth 2-2.5m; H 1-1.2m) forming a field boundary. Parts of the remaining perimeter are also encompassed within field boundaries. There is a slight external fosse (Wth 1.6-1.8m; D 0.5m) and the interior is dry and level.

• WI012-011 Flat cemetery
  Description

  Situated on SE edge of a plateau overlooking the Vartry River to the E. The 'Moat' was described in 1838 by John O'Donovan as a ‘remarkable round and pretty high hillock which they call a moate, but which, however, has no sign or vestige of a moate on or about it’ (O'Flanagan 1928, 81). It is depicted as a steep side hillock on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map with OS trig. station marking spot height of 907 ft. OD on the summit of the mound. The revised 1907 ed. OS 25-inch map shows that by this time a gravel pit had been opened in the W quadrant of the hillock and that the profile of the earthwork had been severely altered. This earthwork was visited in 1989 and described as a 'natural sand deposit whose interior has been almost completely removed through quarrying leaving a flat central area (dims. 160m E-W x 120m N-S)surrounded by the undug edge of the natural mound. No trace of any artificial features other than those created by quarrying (discontinued)' (ASI Field Report 09/11/1989). Two urn burials discovered in 1981 when they were exposed on the E side in the section of a natural hillock known locally as 'Sutton's Moat' (Cahill and Sikora 2011, Vol. 1, 656-63). Local folklore from Calary National School recorded that 'The Moate in front of my home was believed to be a "Fairy-Moate" (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0912, Page 239).

  Description

  Situated at the foot of a gentle E-facing slope.

This occurs in the centre of a D-shaped graveyard (dims. 34m E-W; 30m N-S) occupying the SW portion of a larger oval enclosure (dims. c. 48m E-W; 34m N-S). The graveyard is defined at S and W by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.3-2m; int. H 0.8-1m; ext. H 1.1-1.3m) with a near-vertical external drystone facing. At the E (straight side) the bank abuts a farmtrack which divides the site N-S. The perimeter of the outer enclosure is represented by a slight scarp to the E of the track. An outer fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.3m) occurs at the SW but the bank continues for some distance to the N where it underlies a farmyard wall.
