FINGAL COCO:

RESTORATION OF ST. MARNOCK’S CEMETERY AND WELL

It was proposed by Councillor P.Coyle and seconded by Councillor D.O’Brien :

That the old St Marnock’s Cemetery (adjacent to Strand Road, Portmarnock) and St. Marnock’s Well be examinedand recommendations drawn up for restoration and long term maintenance, under the Heritage/Conservation Programme”

The following report by the Manager was READ:

“A site visit was carried out in late March 2006 by the Conservation Research Officer, with regard to thebanking of sand/earth on the golf course close to the graveyard walls and to assess the current state of St.Marnock’s Well.
The Conservation Research Officer was unable to determine the exact location of St. Marnock’s
Well at this time as there is no visible trace above ground and was therefore unable to assess its current state. A local landowner is reputed to have destroyed the well in the middle of the 19th century.
The church and gaveyard site is in private ownership. Both it and the well are Protected Structures and Recorded Monuments.
Therefore, any plans for the restoration of the well and works to the graveyard of church
would have to be acceptable to the National Monuments Section of the Department of the Environment, Heritageand Local Government and would have to be agreed to by the actual owners of the site. A historic description of the well indicates that it had a larger circular pool with sixteen steps leading down to it, with an old willow tree bent over it.
The restoration of the well as described may not be appropriate or feasible, however the Conservation Officer will seek to arrange a meeting between the National Monuments Area Archaeologist, thel and owner, as well as Council staff to discuss this matter and the issue of the long term maintenance of the site.”
It was AGREED that Ms. Fionnuala May, Senior Architect, will report back to the Area Committee following discussion with the Heritage Officer and district archaeologist.
