Recorded monuments

• WX036-032001 Church
  Description

  Situated at the crest of an E-facing slope with a N-S stream c. 200m to the E. This is the site of the parish church of Kilgarvan, dedicated to one of the many St. Garbháns that are known (Ó Riain 2011, 362-4). According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 John Bateson, a student, was rector, Robert Dreighan was the curate, and the church and chancel were in repair (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 271). The church was originally within a circular graveyard (diam. c. 60m), but the perimeter, a field bank (at N: Wth 2m; H 1m) and hedge has been removed NE-SW. The church foundations, which are described by John O’Donovan c. 1840 as ‘about 36 feet in length and about 18 in breath’ (dims c. 11m x c. 5m) (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 47-8) and which are visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP, BGF 44) were tidied up forming a cairn (dims 14.2m E-W; 7.1m N-S; H 0.7m) in 1975. The lower end of a medieval graveslab (Wth 0.35-0.4m; H 0.6m; T 7cm) with a fleur-de-lys terminal at the foot of the cross is used as a grave-marker in the graveyard. The site of St Garvan's Well (WX036-033----) is c. 250m to the E. 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: 8 November, 2012 Amended: 4 Sep. 2013

• WX036-032002 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated at the crest of an E-facing slope with a N-S stream c. 200m to the E. The parish church of Kilgarvan (WX036-032001-) is within a circular graveyard (diam. c. 60m), but the perimeter, a field bank (at N: Wth 2m; H 1m) and hedge, has been removed NE-SW. The medieval grave cover (WX036-032003-) is used as a grave-marker in the graveyard. The site of St Garvan's Well (WX036-033----) is c. 250m to the E. Archaeological testing (20E0632) c. 15m W of the graveyard wall at the closest point produced no related material (Purcell 2020).

• WX036-032003 Graveslab
  Description

• WX036-033 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Marked on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and described as St, Garvan’s well in gothic script on both. It is situated in the valley of a N-S stream which is c. 10m to the E. It was mentioned by John O’Donovan writing c. 1840, but the date of the pattern was not known (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 38) so the particular St. Garbhán to whom it was dedicated cannot be identified (Ó Riain 2011, 362-4). A shallow triangular area (dims c. 5m x c. 5m) with a leat leading to the stream may be the well, but there is no evidence of veneration. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 8 November, 2012

• WX036-063 Moated site
  Description

It is also visible on digital aerial photographs (WX036-063_1 to _4) taken in 2006.
