What is recorded here

Located on a slight N-facing slope. References to a castle at Priesthaggard date from 1570 when it was held by Walter Meyler of Duncormack (WX046-034001-). According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) William Sutton owned 120 acres at Price Haggard where there was a ruined castle (Simington 1953, 182, 193). Jeffrey (1979, 160 61) records the existence of vaulted chamber with an entrance of cut stone, murder hole and garderobe chute. It has been removed since the 1980s. 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/revision: 29 Janury, 2013

Walter Meyler held Priesthaggard Castle in 1570, and by the 1650s it was owned by William Sutton, who possessed 120 acres there. The site is remembered as a historical landholding in the region, reflecting early modern land ownership patterns.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
