Recorded monuments

• ME036-051 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  A well is depicted on the W side of a farm laneway on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map but it is described as St Peter’s Well in italic script only on the 1912 edition. The well is said to have had a cure for headaches (IFC, vol. 698, 39). No trace of the well is extant as it was filled in c. 1995 (Kelly 2003, 72). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 July 2019

• ME036-054 Burial
  Description

  Situated on a slight gravel ridge. Archaeological testing (97E0389) of a road improvement scheme uncovered the inhumed remains of three males and one female aligned W-E. One burial produced a C14 date of 1694 +-37 BP (Cal. AD 414-532). Further testing during 1998 recovered another inhumation 75m to the SE. A single male, aged 17-25, was lying supine W-E in a grave-cut (dis 1.38m E-W; 0.52m N-S; D 0.28-0.36m) c. 1m below present ground level. It produced a C14 date of 446+-46 (Cal. AD 1425-1461) demonstrating that it was unconnected with the earlier burials (Murphy 1998, 2000). Further testing (04E0622) by D. Noonan c. 100m to the NE at the nearest point produced no related material (excavatioins.ie 2004:1352), and testing (18E0631) by I. Russell c. 40m S of the main concentration produced no further inhumations (excavations.ie 2018:721).
