What was described as a 'tomb' (dims. 4 feet x 2 feet) composed of four slabs and containg the bones of an adult and a 'terracotta vessel' was found during sand quarrying at Courtown close to the mouth of the W-E Owenavorragh River (Anon. 1862-3, 144-5). The location is not known now.
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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
