Recorded monuments

• WX027-024 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Described as St. Bridget’s Well only on the 1924 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located on a gentle NW-facing slope on the SE side of the River Sow basin. John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 records the name but says it had been disused for 20 years and the pattern was not remembered (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 222). There is no visible evidence of a well. Killisk church (WX027-025001-) is c. 350m to the S. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 18 July, 2012

• WX027-025001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise on the gentle W-facing slope of a low hill. The parish church of Killisk is within a circular enclosure which is truncated by an E-W laneway at S and is now D-shaped (dims 39m E-W; 32m N-S). The enclosure is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3-8m; H 0.3-0.7m). The nave (ext. dims 10.5m E-W; 8.5m N-S) and chancel (ext. dims 7m E-W; 6m N-S) are defined by the grass-covered remains of walls (Wth c. 2m). The round chancel arch (Wth 1.63m; H 1.9m) of uncut stone still stands. There is no evidence of burial, although John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 records that burial had been discontinued for forty years (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 221-2). The site of St Bridget's Well (WX027-024----) is c. 350m to the N. 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: 18 July 2012
