Recorded monuments

• WX032-019001 Church
  Description

  Marked as the site of St. David’s Church on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the S bank of an E-W stream that enters the N-S River Slaney c. 1.2 km to the WSW. St. David of Menevia is the patron saint of Wales who died in 601 AD (Culleton 1999, 131). This is the site of the parish church of Ballynaslaney parish within a raised rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 33m E-W; c. 12m N-S; H 1.2-1.5m) defined by scarps but with only two headstones. The church may be the slightly raised area within (dims. 8m E-W; 4m N-S) that has some stones visible at its S edge. The doorway from this church is said to have been built into the church at Suanderscourt (WX037-017001-), c. 5.25km to the SSE (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 198). St. David’s Well, a circular feature (diam. 1.25m) surrounded by a masonry wall with steps leading down to it, is just W of the graveyard. The stream from the well leads W to a small concrete bathhouse. The pattern is still held on the 1st March (O'Broin 1983-4, 32). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 31 August, 2012

• WX032-019002 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  St. David’s Well is situated in the valley of an E-W stream that enters the N-S River Slaney c. 1.2 km to the WSW. St. David was a 6th century bishop and the apostle of Wales Culleton 1999, 131). He is remembered for his struggles against the Pelagian heresy and for establishing St. David's in Pembrookshire as the principal church site in Wales. Further information is on the website (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_David) accessed on 12 Dec. 2012. The well is just W of the site of the church (WX032-019001-) and the graveyard (WX032-019003-), and is c. 40m S of the stream although there is a small E-W tributary c. 30m S of the well. The well is a circular feature (diam. 1.25m) surrounded by a masonry wall and with steps leading down to it. A stream from the well leads W to a small concrete bathhouse. The pattern was revived in 1910 when some remarkable cures were recorded and it is still held on the 1st February. (O’Broin 1982-3, 32) Coampiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12 December, 2012

• WX032-019003 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated on the S bank of an E-W stream that enters the N-S River Slaney c. 1.2 km to the WSW. The site of the parish church of Ballynaslaney parish (WX032-019001-) is within a raised rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 33m E-W; c. 12m N-S; H 1.2-1.5m) defined by scarps but with only two headstones. St. David’s Well (WX032-019002-) is just to the W. 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: 31 Auguste, 2012

• WX032-020 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  This was described in 1987 (SMR file) as a circular overgrown area (diam. 43m E W; 40m N S) defined by a slight earthen bank (Wth 3-6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.4m). There was an entrance (Wth 3m) at WNW, but there was no visible fosse. It had been removed by 2000 (OSAP). In July 2018 a drone-mounted camera operated by Páid Bates (Skypix Aerial Works) recorded an image of its cropmark as a circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a wide fosse feature (Wth c. 5m) visible in parched pasture, but an entrance feature is not visible. 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.
