• WX029-022 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Described as ‘Brandon Well’ in gothic script on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated in a quarry or grotto at the bottom of a SW-facing slope. This is a natural spring with a masonry surround (int. dims. 0.57m E-W; 0.45m N-S; H 0.5m) and a single lintel. It overflows into a modern pool (diam. c. 5m) with concrete surrounds and wooden benches. A second spring in the quarry channels into a drinking trough (diam. 0.6m) on the outside of the NW-SE estate wall, now known as Brandon Well. This trough overflows into a large rectangular trough (int. dims. 1.5m by 0.5m) for animals. A limestone plaque (dims. 0.5m x 0.5m) over the troughs says ‘Erected by the NRBC in 1885’. There is no evidence that either well was ever venerated. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 August, 2012

• WX029-038 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  Situated towards the top of a W and S-facing slope overlooking the N-S River Barrow/Nore that is c. 400m to the W, and located c. 300m S of the S line of the town wall of New Ross (WX029-013005-). Archaeological testing and monitoring (03E1638) of an extensive housing development recorded a hearth as a oval feature (dims. 1.35m x 0.7m; D 0.12m) filled with two deposits containing charcoal on the fire-reddened clay. Two small pits (dims. 1m x 0.6m; D 0.18m: 1.4m x 0.6m; D 0.35m) were c. 40m to the S. The features produced no artefacts, but over 500 sherds of pottery, mostly post-medieval, was recovered in monitoring.
