The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1839 and 1941 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described in gothic lettering as Trinity Well on both, and additionally as ‘Site of’ on the later map. It is located on a N-facing slope adjacent to Wexford Harbour and was associated with the unlocated Trinity church (WX037-032014-), which is probably in the vicinity. The well site is in a small paved area on the NE side of Trinity St. surrounded by warehouses, but it is not visible at ground level. There is no evidence of, or record of veneration.
