Recorded monuments

• WX016-021001 Church
  Description

  Located towards the bottom of a S-facing slope. This is the site of the parish church of Monamolin within a small triangular graveyard (max. dims. c. 90m E-W; c. 45m N-S) with the apex at the S defined by masonry walls. According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 Daniel Morfi was the curate of Mulmolinge, and the church and chancel were in repair (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 272). The present Church of Ireland church was built in 1824 on the site of an older church according to J. O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 226), of which no remains survive. There is a small standing stone (WX016-021003-) (dims. 0.6m x 0.5m; H 1m) with a trianglular profile in the S angle of the graveyard. St Moling's Well (WX021-035----), a circular drystone-walled and lintelled structure where the pattern was held on the 17th of June (ibid.) lies c. 370m to the SSW. 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: 21 May, 2012

• WX021-005 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Described as St. Moling's Well on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the NE bank of a NW-SE stream, in its steep-sided valley. This is a U-shaped well (dims. 1.25m E-W; 0.8m N-S) defined by a drystone wall and open to the E. It is roofed with lintels, and the pattern was held on the 17th of June according to John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 226) but there is no evidence of veneration now. Moiling was descended from the Uí Dhealga, a branch of ruling Uí Cheinsealaigh in south Leinster. His church at St. Mullin's, Co. Carlow (CW026-011----) bacame a popular centre of pilgrimage that continues to the present. He died in 697 but c. 1160 St. Mullins was granted to the Augustinians at Ferns, who produce two Latin lives of Moling, and there was always a close association between the centres (Ó Riain 2011, 487-90). Moling's church (WX016-021001-), the parish church of Monamoling, is c. 370m to the NNE. (O'Broin 1983-4, 34) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 15 June, 2012 Amended: 29 April, 2014
