The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered in land reclamation c. 1985. An oak flume (L 3.87m), two structural beams (L 3.2m; 1.7m) and a possible portion of unfinished paddle survive. A sample from one of the structural timbers produced a dendrochronological felling date of AD 1228±9 (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.
