What is recorded here

Described as the 'site of Templeboy' within a small faintly-marked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30-35m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6 inch map, and situated on a slight SE-facing slope. There are no visible remains of a structure, burial or enclosure at ground level in a grass and scrub-covered area. Battlestown was part of the estate of Dunbrody Abbey (WX039-030001-) (Colfer 2002, Fig. 79), and the church probably served as a chapel for the community at Balltestown castle site (WX045-025----) c. 700m to the E. 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: 17 June, 2013

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.
