Well in Gardens (kilkenny City By., St. Mary’s Par.)

A drystone-walled well at the rear of an early 19th-century house at No.4 Rose Inn Street (NIAH 12000149), excavated by Simon Ó Faoláin (01E0466) (Ó Faoláin 2002, unpublished; 2004, 283). The well (int. diam. c.1.1m) was constructed of roughly dressed limestone blocks with occasional red bricks in the upper courses. A lead pipe had been inserted into the well and it was sealed by a raft of timber planks. No evidence for its dating was found. The upper two courses (c.0.5m) of the well were removed under archaeological supervision and the remainder of it is preserved under the concrete floor of an extension to No. 4 Rose Inn Street.
