  1. Dt. David's Well (ii)
    In Ballinaslaney, a place a mile and a half from Oylegate, there is a holy well called St. David's.
    About the year 1912, it was reported that several people were cured there of different diseases.
    People used come from different parts of Wexford.
    The well is situated, a short distance from the river Slaney and partly on the side of a hill, with a wall built all around, and steps going down to it.
