- WX043-002001 Church
Description
Situated on the W side of the Rosslare sand-spit and on the W side of a N-S road. The church is dedicated to St. Breagh, which is probably Brioc and is cognate with Bridget. It was listed as a Catholic church dedicated to St. Breagh by Synnott in 1680 (Hore 1862, 69). According to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 no trace of the church survived in the earlier 19th century (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 276), although local tradition believes the church is incorporated into a dwelling (ext. dims. 11.2m E W; 4.8m N S) on the site. There is no visible evidence of an enclosure or of burial, but archaeological testing (06E0099) recovered nine burials from the graveyard within the cottage where the S wall of the church was identified (Ó Drisceoil 2009). St Broagh's Well is c. 30m to the S. 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 May, 2013
- WX043-002002 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Situated on the W side of the Rosslare sand-spit and on the W side of a N-S road. It is marked on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as St. Braagh’s well on both. The name is probably Brioc, which is cognate with Bridget. The well has been conserved and is now a circular area (diam. c. 0.8m) defined by a masonry wall (H c. 0.,5m) in a little sunken patio. There is no evidence of veneration. The church (WX043-002001-) is c. 30m to the N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 31 May, 2013
