- Bannow Bay is situated in the South of County Wexford and it is called the "buried city". The reason for this is because years ago it was supposed to be a beautiful city, and one night a great storm arose - a tidal wave it is believed - and buried the city with water and sand.The historic old church is all that's left and it appears to be on such low-lying land that you could not see it until you be within a few hundred yards of it.Although it is many hundreds of years old and (?) to storms its walls are in a fair state of preservation.Local tradition 1.7.38
