Holy well in Commons South

Holy well

What is recorded here

Commons South holds a holy well where clean water still rises through Clare soil. People may have brought sick children, wedding gifts or quiet prayers to that hole in the ground, then left before the water took them back. The field remembers every cupped hand, dropped coin and forgotten name because holy wells do not bury what they drink.
