Holy well in Annagh More (leyny By.)

O'Rorke (1878, 397) mentioned that a well, on the bank of the Owenmore River near the new pump, was formerly called St. Anne's well, though the late Major O'Hara used to call it Fechin's well. The exact location of this well is not known but O'Rorke (ibid.) associated it with the possible church (SL026-047----) at Killassar. There are four other wells associated with St Fechin in the vicinity (SL026-010----; SL026-015----; SL026-086----; SL033-062----). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).

This holy well is associated with both St. Anne and St. Fechin, reflecting local traditions that linked healing waters to multiple saints, a common practice in early Irish Christianity. The site may have had a long-standing reputation for curative properties, particularly for general ailments, as was typical of many holy wells in Ireland.
