Recorded monuments

• WX018-029001 Church
  Description

  Marked only on 1925 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a 'Killeen'. John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 102) records that a small church and graveyard once existed at Glenglass. It may have continued as a Catholic chapel into the Penal era (Codd 2005, 39). The church site is thought to be a slightly raised area (dims. c. 10m NW–SE; c. 6m NE–SW). St Anne's Well, now covered in, is c. 30m to the SW and the graveyard site (WX019-016----) is c. 130m to the ESE. 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 upload/revision: 22 May, 2012

• WX018-029002 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Marked simply as a well on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in a fold on a W-facing slope at the headwaters of a short NE-SW stream that joins the N-S Milltown stream, c. 350m to the SW. It is held locally to have been the original St. Anne's Well before the present well (WX018-011----) was established c. 1.8 km to the NNW. The well is now covered in. The church site (WX018-029001-) is c. 30m to the NE and the graveyard (WX019-016----) is c. 140m to the ESE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 22 May, 2012

• WX019-016 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated on a low N-S ridge with a small N-S canalised stream c. 50m to the E. A rectangular feature (dims c. 35m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) described as the 'site of graveyard' is depicted faintly on the 1839 edition of the OS 6-inch map. No features are visible at ground level but the outline of a rectangular enclosure (ext. dims c. 70m NW-SE; c. 60m NE-SW) is visible on iMAPs (2022) as reported first by Jean Charles Caillére. This enclosure is also visible on Map Genie (2005-2012, 2013-18) where it is defined by widely spread banks (Wth c. 10-15m). The church site (WX018-029001-) is c. 130m to the WNW and the holy welll (WX018-029002-) is c. 140m to the WNW. 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: 22 May, 2012 Amended: 6 June 2023
