• WX029-006 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  It is described in gothic script as Tobernacally in gothic script on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map. The name - Tobar na Caillí- means the nun's well (pers. comm. C. Ó Crualaoich). The well is situated in a little rock-cut S-N valley and c. 35m S of the E-W River Barrow. It is a rectangular well (dims 0.73m x. 0.95m; H 0.92m) with a brick surround and a stone lintel, open to the E. The name is recorded by John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 (O’Flanagan, 1933, vol. 2, 341). The source of a small stream is c. 5m to the S but there is no evidence of veneration at the well.

• WX029-032 Moated site
  Description

  Located on the flood-plain of the E-W River Barrow c. 1.15km E of its confluence with the River Nore. This is a circular area (diam. 20m) defined by a wet flat bottomed fosse (Wth 3.7 6.5m; D 0.5 1m). A leat from fosse at N leads to river which is c. 50m distant. It is planted with deciduous trees, and covered in dense 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: 2 August, 2012
