What is recorded here

Situated on the W side of the Rosslare sand-spit and on the W side of a N-S road. It is marked on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as St. Braagh’s well on both. The name is probably Brioc, which is cognate with Bridget. The well has been conserved and is now a circular area (diam. c. 0.8m) defined by a masonry wall (H c. 0.,5m) in a little sunken patio. There is no evidence of veneration. The church (WX043-002001-) is c. 30m to the N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 31 May, 2013
