Mothel (Irish: Maothail, meaning 'spongy land')[1][2] is a small village, civil parish and townland, near the Comeragh Mountains in the northern part of County Waterford, Ireland.

A Cross Pillar stone, also known as a termon-stone, stands by the roadside in Mothel.

The squared sandstone pillar stands four feet high and is inscribed with ornamental crosses.

[5] Traditionally, local people walk through the stream at Mothel holy well seven times on the local Pattern day, known as Lá Chuain Airbhre.
