• WX037-002001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a shelf on an E-facing slope overlooking the N-S River Slaney which is c. 250m to the E. This is the site of the parish church of Killurin within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 50-70m N-S; c. 40m E-S) defined by an earthen bank with internal stone-facing on all sides except the N where there is a masonry wall. According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 this church was impropriate to Henry Wallop and the name of the priest, if any, is not recorded. Nor is the condition of the church building recorded (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 268). John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 records that the old church was removed c. 1800 when the present Church of Ireland church was built (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 360). There is no evidence of an older structure other than one eroded Dundry fragment (H 0.17m) of two attached columns. St Laurence's Well (WX037-003----), lies c. 350m S of the church site. Archaeological testing (98E0422) just N of the graveyard produced no archaeological features (Wren 2000). 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: 14 December, 2012 Amended: 2 Sep. 2013

• WX037-003 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Marked on the 1839 and 1941 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as St. Laurence’s Well in gothic script on both. The St. Laurence invoked is probably a late dedication to St. Laurence (Lorcán) O’Toole of Dublin (Ó Riain 2011, 403-05). The well is located in the ravine of s small N-S stream that joins the W-E Ballyvoleen River c. 60m to the S. This is a circular rock-pool (diam. 0.8m; D 0.8m) on the W side of the ravine and c. 1m over its base. There is no evidence of veneration, apart from the presence nearby of the base of an ornamental pillar (diam. of base 0.34m; diam. of pillar 0.17m; H 0.25m).
