What is recorded here

Holywell in Cavancarragh remains a post-medieval settlement marker rather than a named house or field. That absence is not a failure, but a shape of local memory: people lived there, used the land, and left behind only the kind of trace that maps still carry. The name does most of the work, pointing water, life and continuity in one word.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Historic Settlement Holywell. Recorded period: POST-MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
