Recorded monuments

• WX052-011 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape. A well is depicted on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map at Genstown and is described in gothic lettering on both as Trinity Well. According to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 the pattern, which had been held on Trinity Sunday (the first Sunday after Pentecost), had been discontinued since c. 1800 (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 201). There is no evidence of a well or local knowledge of one in a poorly drained area. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 18 February, 2014

• WX052-042 Concentric enclosure
  Description

  Situated on a level landscape. The cropmark of a bivallate circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 45m; ext. diam. c. 80m) defined by a wider inner fosse feature (Wth c. 3m) and slighter outer fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (ASIAP (3) 33-37). There is a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 30m NW-SE; c. 15m NE-SW) defined by a slight fosse feature inside the inner enclosure, No entrances can be detected, but a drain or narrow stream connects the defining features radially at NW and a similar feature connects them at SSE and extends further in this direction.
