Recorded monuments

• WI034-018 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated on the SE side of an open area abutting onto a farmyard wall. Slab-built trough divided into three sections (dims. 5.85m x 2.6m; D 0.8m) fed by a spring, which fills the N trough. Named 'Three Wells' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. A possible bullaun, which has now been removed, apparently formed part of one of the internal dividing walls. There is a possible graveyard (WI034-017----) 20m to the SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008

• WI034-029 Bullaun stone
  Description

  A possible bullaun stone apparently formed part of one of the dividing walls at a holy well site (WI034-018----). There was no visible trace of the stone when the holy well was inspected in 1990 (SMR file; Grogan and Kilfeather 1997, 167, No. 1058). Its current location is unknown.

• WI034-038 Rock art
  Description

  Site described by Dr. Clíodhna Ní Lionáin of the UCD Wicklow Rock Art Project as following; 'This slab is located around 300m northeast and uphill of WI034-030----. It has been placed against a field boundary hedgerow, just inside the field gate. This sub-rectangular granite slab (1.14m long x 0.82m wide x 0.23m high) has a mottled coloured surface, presumably a result of lichen growth. There is a scatter of at least 8 cupmarks (4.5cm diameter, 2cm deep) and another 5 possible cupmarks, which are concentrated on the end of the decorated face which is closest to the field boundary. They do not appear to form any particular pattern'(www.wicklowrockartproject.com).
