Recorded monuments

• WX038-002 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated on a slight W-facing slope with a small N-S stream c. 35m to the W. According to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 a pattern was held at this well on June 9th in honour of St. Columkille, or Colum Cille, of Iona (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 307). The well is a natural spring, now concreted over. St. Colum Cille is one of the best-documented saints from early Ireland and was commemorated throughout the country as one of the three national saints. He was from the ruling Ceinéal Conaill of Donegal, but his mother, Eithne, may have been connected with the Uí Bhairrche of Carlow/Wexford. He was educated by Fionnbharr of Movila in Co. Down, but his secret copying of a text led to the battle of Cúil Dreimhne and his self-imposed exile in Iona, where his monastery, founded c. 550, became the centre of the Columban mission to Britain and the continent.

• WX038-012 Enclosure - large enclosure
  Description

  Located on a fairly level low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a large subcircular area (dims c. 100m N-S; c. 85m E-W) defined by a single ditch or drain (Wth c. 2-5m) is visible only on Google Earth (18/07/2021). The cropmark of a rectangular quarry (dims c. 30m E-W; c. 20m N-S) is in the NE part of the interior, and the enclosing element might just be drainage around a slightly raised area. It was first reported by Jean Charles Cailére. See the attached enhanced view from Google Earth (18/07/2021) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 4 January 2022
