What is recorded here

Marked faintly as a rectangular structure (dims. c. 8m x c. 6m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and described as the 'site of Castle' on that and the 1941 ed. It is located in the valley of The W-E Polehore Pill, which is c. 50m to the N. There is no knowledge of a second castle at Polehore besides (WX037-014----). There are no visible remains of a structure at ground level in a pasture field called the Castle field. 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: 14 December, 2012

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.
