What is recorded here

Holy well in Cashelfean is a small triangular basin at the foot of an outcropping rock in County Cork, Ireland. One edge is the vertical rock face, the others are laid stone slabs, and the well holds about half a metre of water despite measuring only forty centimetres deep. It still receives occasional use, which suggests the place has never fully stopped being a living ritual site rather than a forgotten ruin.

In rough grazing land, at the foot of an outcropping rock. The holy well is roughly triangular in shape (L 0.7m at N; 0.6m at W and 0.9m at SW) and is defined by the vertical face of the outcropping rock at SW and elsewhere by stone slabs. The well is 0.4m deep and about half full of water. According to local information, it is still in occasional use. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
