- WI030-008 Ringfort - rath
Description
Situated on a gentle S-facing slope overlooking and overlooked by steep slopes. Oval area (dims. 39m NE-SW; 29.5m NW-SE) bisected by a field bank and ditch extending NW-SE. The site is defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4-6m; 0.6-1.4m) from SE-S-NW and by an abrupt scarp (H 0.8m) at the NE beyond the intersecting field boundary. In the interior, very close to the bank at W, there is a sunken rectangular hut foundation (dims. 7m x 4m) and there is a low earthen bank (L 12m) in the NE sector. There is a possible entrance (Wth 2.5m) at the SE. A disused trackway skirts the site along the NE perimeter. Said locally to be the site of a church (WI030-035----). 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

- WI030-035 Church
Description
Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. A ringfort (WI030-008----) here is said locally to be the site of a church (Ronan 1928, 151). Not visible at ground level.

- WI030-044 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Possible holy well described by Ronan (1928, 150) as at ‘Kilmanoge (properly, Kill-na-mban-og), i.e., the Church of the Virgins (WI030-035----) is completely erased. And so also is the burying ground. But the triangular enclosure, about 60 yds. each side, with old thorns and elders, has been always held in veneration and has never been cultivated. There is a neglected well near the N.E. angle, and the upper stone of a small broken quern lies near’. A well indicated on the OS 25-inch map appears to be the neglected well mentioned by Ronan.
