• WX018-011 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Located on a gentle S-facing slppe in the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains with a N-S stream c. 35m to the W. According to John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 a pattern was performed at the well on 26th July until c. 1824 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 102). The well is a drystone walled feature (dims. c. 1m x c. 1.5m) now covered by a wooden shrine structure that contains numerous statues. The well is within a concrete enclosure (dims. c. 3m x c. 2m) defined by a concrete wall. The church (WX018-012001-) and graveyard (WX018-012002-) are c. 160m to the N.

• WX018-012001 Church
  Description

  Located on a gentle S-facing slope in the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains. This could be an early ecclestiastical site and the site of the parish church of Killann. According to a Visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, in 1615 Robert Clere was the curate, and the church and chancel were in repair (Hore 1900-11, vol. 6, 272). The old church was pulled down c. 1835 according to John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 102) and no traces of it are now visible within a subrectangular graveyard (dims. c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) defined by an earthen bank. Traces of an ecclesiastical enclosure (diam. c. 100-120m) remain NE–S–NW of the graveyard, defined by a scarp (H c. 0.5m), but the perimeter is removed NW-NE by an E-W road and a carpark. St Anne's Well (WX018-011----) where the pattern was held on 26th July until 1824 and which is still venerated, lies c. 160m S of the graveyard.
