Recorded monuments

• WX047-032 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located on a level, low-lying landscape. This is a slightly raised and dished oval area (dims. c. 29m E-W; c. 26m N-S) defined by a low scarp (H 0.2-0.4m). There is no visible fosse or entrance and the interior is covered in scrub. 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: 15 October, 2013

• WX047-033 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated in a slight N-S valley with a small E-W stream c. 15m to the N at a point where it turns N. A well is marked on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as St. Catherine’s Well in gothic lettering on both. According to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 the pattern had been held on the 25th of November until c. 1800 (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 201), but this had been forgotten by 1940 (OSFM). The date of the pattern indicates that the well was dedicated to St. Catherine of Alexandria. There are no visible remains of a well in a cereal crop. St. Catherine was a 4th century savant who converted some pagan philosophers. When persecuted on a rack the wheels miraculously fell off the machine – hence she is always represented with a wheel. Eventually she was burned by her persecutors. Her remains were discovered in Egypt in the 8th century and miraculously translated to Mt. Sinai where her monastery continues to this day. Some of her relics came to Europe in the 11th century resulting in the popularisation of her cult. In 1969 she was removed from the Calendar by the Roman Catholic Church, but she was restored in 2002. (Butler, Rev. A 1883, 169) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 October, 2013
