Recorded monuments
- WA001-013 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Situated on a shelf on the W side of the deep ravine of the S-N Radcliffern stream at the N foothills of the Comeragh Mountains, with a wide view out N-E which is dominated by Slievenamon to the NE. It is accessed by a steep path with steps from a gate leading onto a N-S laneway c. 40m to the ENE. Described as a holy well in 1839 by John O'Donovan (O'Flanagan 1929, 53), it is known locally as the Rag Well but there is no record of a pattern. The well, located at the point where a stone-lined underground stream emerges (Wth 1m) and runs off to the ENE, is in a circular enclosure (int. diam. 4.7m) defined by a low masonry wall (Wth 0.5m; H 0.6m) with an entrance (Wth 0.3-0.4m) at SSE. The rag tree (WA001-013001-), a whitethorn bush festooned with cloths, is just to the E. O'Flanagan, M.

Description
Situated on a shelf on the W side of the deep ravine of a S-N stream at the N foothills of the Comeragh Mountains, with a wide view N-E which is dominated by Slievenamon to the NE.

- WA001-048 Standing stone
Description
On the edge of a terrace of a N-facing slope of hills, on the W side of the mountain road known as ‘The Mayor’s Walk’, overlooking the Suir river valley. There is a sheer fall of 3-4m to the valley floor c. 1-2m to the N. There are very good to extensive views to the N, E and W with Slievenamon Mountain dominating to the NE. The view is impeded upslope to the S. A cairn (WA001-044----), though not visible from the standing stone, is located on the summit of the hill c. 1.6km to the SSW. Identified and reported by Aoibheann Lambe , 21 March 2018. A sandstone standing stone (basal dims. 0.8m x 0.47m; H 1.2m) with some quartz pebble inclusions, roughly rectangular in plan, aligned E-W and embedded in the ground. The top surface, which slopes upwards to the E, is quite smooth, possibly indicating the stone was originally taller and that at some stage the upper portion sheared off due to natural weathering. The broad faces narrow towards the top (top dims. 0.5m x 0.47m). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 April 2018
