What is recorded here

Described as 'Site of Grave Yard' in italic script on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is depicted faintly as an oval area (dims. c. 40m E-W; c. 25m N-S), which was described by J. O' Donovan c. 1840 as destroyed and forgotton (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 11). Situated at the crest of a slight S-facing slope in a low-lying landscape. There are local traditions of the graveyard, but no feature is visible at ground level in pasture. A holy well (WX007-018----) is located c. 200m to the SSE. 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: 15 March 2012
