What is recorded here

Holy Well in County Cork has stopped being holy. Two modern concrete troughs hold water for farm work and household use, while a second well marked on an 1842 map lies seventy metres south along the laneway. The sacred edge has thinned into utility, yet the water still collects, flows and sustains ordinary life.

No longer in holy use. Two modern concrete troughs now retain water for agricultural and domestic use. Another holy well (CO151-027002-), shown only on OS 6-inch map (1842), was located 70m to S along laneway. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
