What is recorded here

The graveyard in Townparks (St. Michael's of Feagh parish) is in County Wexford, Ireland. This raised subrectangular area measures approximately 50 metres by 30 metres and is defined by masonry walls towards the north end of a low ridge. The parish church of St Michael of Feagh is located within the site, though no visible remains of the church were recorded at ground level. Archaeological testing on the east wall produced evidence of post-medieval burials.

The site of the parish church of St Michael of Feagh (WX037-032017-) is within a raised subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m WNW-ESE; c. 30m NNE-SSW) defined by masonry walls. It is located towards the N end of a low NW-SE ridge. There are no visible remains of the church at ground level. Archaeological testing (94E0198) and (94E0202) on the E wall of the graveyard produced evidence of post-medieval burials (Scally 1995), but testing (04E1257) at Faythe Lane c. 60m to the S failed to produce any related material (Stafford 2008). Archaeological testing (18E0460) by Y. Whitty on the W side of Michael St. produced no archaeological finds or features (excavations.ie 2018: 778).
