House

Partially excavated (00E0471) as part of the N25 Wexford to New Ross re-alignment. The moated site (WX036-079001-) has the remains of a wooden house in the interior. This is defined by wide, shallow foundation trenches providing uncertain dimensions for the house. A hearth in the N extremity of the structure produced a C14 date of cal AD 1400-1450, but a second more central hearth is more likely to be primary and there was evidence of the destruction of the building which produced a C14 date of cal AD 1318-1450 (Eogan and Kelly 2016, 222).
