Holy well and butterwell 120m west of Holiwell

The National Heritage List for England records Holy well and butterwell 120m west of Holiwell as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Linked to Saint Holi, a 7th-century Irish saint associated with healing and dairy fertility, the holy well and butterwell were traditionally visited for cures related to illness and to ensure the prosperity of livestock. Local folklore suggests that the butterwell was used in rituals to bless dairy produce, ensuring abundance and protection from spoilage.
