Water mill

Situated on a slight SE-facing slope. Some large worked oak timbers became visible at bottom of land drain at a depth of c. 2m. Three timbers (Wth 0.5m; 0.2m; 0.4m) crossed the bottom of the drain while other timbers protruded from the SW face of the drain over a distance of 1.5m and c. 0.2m above the bottom of the drain. A combined dendrochronological felling date of AD 900±9 was derived from two samples from the drain section (M. Baillie, Palaeoecology Laboratory, Queen's University, Belfast). 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: 11 July 2012
