Building in Kilbreedy

Unlocated building within townland described by Carrigan as 'About 50 yards north of the church, beside the public road, there stood till 1893, the foundations of an ancient building, 12 ft. square, which the people used to call 'the Belfry'. St. Bridget's holy well, now 'the Castle Well' is southwest of the church, neary opposite the door of Kilbreedy Castle. Patterns were held at the well till a century ago, and pilgrimages till much later. In summer time it generally runs dry, owing to some act of desecration; in winter it is a powerful spring' (Carrigan 1905, 60). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007
