Holy well in Boggan

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 498), in Boggan townland, 'there is a well called Tubber na Cruchthanee, or, as the old people explain the name, Well of the Holy Cross'. O'Kelly (1985, 28) also mentions this well, calling it, 'Tobar na Croiche Naoi (Naofa), holy cross well' and adds that, 'local inhabitants say "there are three holy wells in Boggan". The precise location of the Holy Cross well is unknown within the townland. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 6 May 2020

The well is associated with the Holy Cross and may have been a site of Christian devotion, possibly linked to early medieval pilgrimage practices. Local tradition suggests it was visited for blessings or healing, though specific cures or rituals are not well documented.
