What is recorded here
Jackson(1979-80, 147) states that this site was regarded locally as a holy well. It is named 'Furan Well' on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map (the name being derived from 'fuar'- cold: see also Fuaran holy well in Boghall Td (KD031-001----)) and shown at the W corner of a moated site (KD004-012----). No longer visible at ground level, but the ground in this area is wet underfoot. A small fenced-off area at the S corner of the moated site may be the location of a covered well or spring.
