What is recorded here

Marked 'site of Grave Yard' and depicted fainlty as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is situated on a slight shelf overlooking the NNW-SSE Clonough River, c. 100m to the SW. The tradition of a burial ground still persists but there are no visible remains at ground level in a farm complex. St Michael's Well (WX003-030----), is located c. 220m to the S. Archaeological testing (08E0997) c. 150m to the SE produced no related material (Gregory 2011). 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 revision: 14 March 2016

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.
