anurn. This moat is situated a little north-west of an ancient ruin 
and graveyard called Temple. These, moats in the vicinity of churches 
appear to suggest that such places were noted in Pagan times, as 
St. Mullen’s, county Carlow; while the following is a list of primi- 
tive churches observed in the vicinity of moats and such like 
structure, from which it may be inferred that the early Christian 
missionaries took possession of Pagan settlements, and utilized them. 
I would suggest that while they lived in the churches, they addressed 
the people from the moats, following the example of their prede- 
cessors, the Brehons.

Note ADDED IN THE PREss. 
The following additional unrecorded urns have been found in the 
county Wexford :—An urn nearly two feet high, found in the manor 
of Wingfield, near the mearing of Cummerduff and Loggan. Two 
urns, found some years ago in the south-east portion of the fosse of 
Pallis fort ; one is said to have been full of ‘‘ Danes’ pipes,” and the 
other of burnt bones: one of them, till very lately, was used as a 
domestic utensil. An urn found near the ford east of Monaseed. Two 
urns found in twin kistvaens under a stone and clay mound, in the 
townland of Ballykale, to the south of Gorey: one of these urns is 
now in the Museum of the Academy. All the urns found in the 
moats and raths were at the south-east side. A similar statement has 
been made by explorers elsewhere.
