What is recorded here

Holy well in Ardaghy Glebe: a second Well of St Naal on Ardaghey Hill, near Lugnaal, already half-forgotten when Ó Muirgheasa listed it in 1936. The glebe may have kept its own quiet faith while the wider townland moved on, which is why the well sounds absent rather than lost.

Unlocated holy well in the townland of Ardaghy Glebe, listed by Ó Muirgheasa in 1936 as well no. 15 (Ó Muirgheasa ( 1936, 145). Described by Ó Muirgheasa as, 'There is a second Well of St. Naal on Ardaghey Hill, near Lugnaal. Its sacred character has become almost forgotten' (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 145).

Linked to St. Naal, the well is associated with healing traditions and may have been a site of pilgrimage. St. Naal, a 7th-century Irish saint, is venerated in several locations in the west of Ireland, often connected with water cures and local folklore.
