Recorded monuments

• WX026-017001 Church
  Description

  Located on a gentle E-facing slope with a N-S stream c. 90m to the E. This is the probable site of the parish church of Ballyhuskard within a rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 70m E-W; c. 35m N-S) defined by earthen banks. According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 Pat Redmond was the curate, and the church and chancel were in ruins (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 272). John O'Donovan writing c. 1839 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2. 98 9) records the existence of the S wall (L 3m; H 3m) of a church which was dedicated to St. Peter and which has since disappeared. There is a granite bullaun stone (dims. 0.7m x 0.65m; H c. 0.2m) with a single basin (diam. 0.34m; D 0.1m) in the graveyard. The site of St Peter's Well (WX026-018----), at which pattern was held on 29th June until c. 1800 (Hore 1900-11, vol. 2, 99) lies c. 100m to the E. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

• WX026-018 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated in a shallow valley on the NE bank of a NW-SE stream. St. Peter’s Well, where patterns were held on the 29th of June until c. 1810 according to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 99) is now a small pond created by a small dam in the steam. There is no evidence of veneration. St. Peter was the chief of the Apostles, the vicar of Christ on earth and the first bishop of Rome. When Nero began to persecute the Christians after the burning of Rome in 64 AD Peter was urged by his followers to absent himself. However, Christ met him on the Appian Way and reproached him for his cowardice and he returned to Rome where he met a martyr's death by crucifixion in 65 AD. His feastday is June 29th.
