What is recorded here

Holy wells and water lore still move through Clonmeen South. Karan, a young mother, came to the area in 2025 and heard the old name passed between neighbours like a gift. She did not force the story into a warning. She waited for the place to show itself, and that patience turned a forgotten townland into a living laboratory.

Unlocated holy well within townland that is described by Carrigan as 'A little to the south of the church (LA033-010), in Mr. Campion's haggard, there is a large, deep well called the "church well" , it was formerly regarded as holy' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 345).

Linked to an unidentified saint or local tradition, the well was historically associated with the church and may have been used for ritual or baptismal purposes. Local references to it as the "church well" suggest its importance in early Christian practice, though specific folklore or cures connected to the site are not recorded.
