The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

• WX048-005 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  A well is marked on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and described in gothic lettering as St. Michael’s Well on both. It is located on a level, low-lying landscape, c. 40m SW of the perimeter of the graveyard (WX048-003002-). According to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 the pattern was held on 29 September until it was suppressed c. 1830 (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 278-9). There is no evidence of the well now, and the location has been built over. According to Christian tradition as revealed in the Book of Revelation St. Michael the Archangel defeated the forces of evil and banished Lucifer from Heaven. Devotion to St. Michael developed in the 4th century as the leader of the army of the righteous and was widespread in Europe by the 6th century.
