Recorded monuments

• WX036-036001 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Located in a coniferous forest towards the top of a N-facing slope that forms the S side of the steep-sided valley of the E-W River Corrock. The well was described in 1988 as a small circular well (int. diam. 0.45m) defined by a cemented wall, with a rag tree nearby (SMR file). The well is dedicated to St. Munna (Ó Riain 2011, 505-07) of Taghmon (WX041-008----), which is c. 2 km to the S. Traditionally, the saint watered his horse at the well and rested overnight on the bed (WX036-036002-) c. 100m to the W. The pattern was held on the 21st October until 1800 (Ó Broin 1983-4, 34). The well is still venerated and had been conserved by 2008, being approached by a path through the forest, while the well is surrounded by a masonry wall with steps leading down to it. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

• WX036-036002 Ritual site - holy/saint's stone
  Description

  Located towards the top of a N-facing slope that forms the S side of the steep-sided valley of the E-W Corrock River. It is on the S side of a forest road in a coniferous forest. The name of the townland to the E, Cloghulatagh, is derived from Cloch Chodlata - the stone of sleep - and undoubtedly refers to the saint's stone (Pers. com. Conchubhar Ó Crualaoich). Traditionally, St. Munna (Ó Riain 2011, 505-07) of Taghmon (WX041-008----), which is c. 2km to the S, slept here overnight, having watered his horse at the well (WX036-036001-), c. 100m to the E. The bed is an area bedrock (L c. 3m; Wth c. 1m) sloping down to the W. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 8 November, 2012 Amended: 16 July, 2014
