Located on a rise in a gently undulating landscape on the N side of the old Wexford to Rosslare road. The parish church of Kilscoran is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 40-50m N-S; c. 45m E-W) defined by masonry walls. William Barret was the parson in 1414 (Hore 1925, 18) and according to the Visitation of Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 Adam Hay was the Rector and the church and chancel were repaired (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 267). John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 275) says that the site is now occupied by the present Church of Ireland church, which was built in 1819 (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 207). There are no visible traces of an older structure. 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: 08 January 2014

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.
