What is recorded here

A thatched house is listed in the terrier or commentary of the Down Survey parish map of Rosslare in NLI (ms, 725; microfilm, P 7384; N 6380) at Hill of Sea and Hannonstown (5), but it is not marked on the barony map. Rowlande Scurlocke owned 45 acres here in 1640 (Simington 1953, 307). An ancestor of Rowland’s, also called Rowland Scurlocke, had been a physician to Queen Mary Tudor (1553-8) and had been awarded the manors of Rosslare and Ballymore for his service (Hore 1920, 91-3).) See this web-page for the barony map of Forth accessed on 24 December, 2013: http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php#bm=Forth&c=Wexford The precise location of this house is not known.

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.
