- WX003-021 Burial ground
Description
Marked 'site of Grave Yard' and depicted fainlty as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is situated on a slight shelf overlooking the NNW-SSE Clonough River, c. 100m to the SW. The tradition of a burial ground still persists but there are no visible remains at ground level in a farm complex. St Michael's Well (WX003-030----), is located c. 220m to the S. Archaeological testing (08E0997) c. 150m to the SE produced no related material (Gregory 2011). 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 revision: 14 March 2016
- WX003-030 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Situated on a steep W-facing slope in the valley of the NW-SE Clonough River, with the stream c. 10m to the W. Described as St. Michael's Well on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map, this is a natural spring that is a source of a short stream (L c. 10m) that joins the Clonough c. 10m to the S. There is no structure and there is no record of, or evidence of, veneration. Archaeological testing (08E0997) c. 50m to the N failed to produce any related material (Gregory 2011).
