What is recorded here

Dry stones and a collapsed channel mark the holy well in Cornaveigh, Imokilly, Ardagh. It sits south of the farmyard avenue, small enough to touch across, yet the water has vanished into a hidden pipe beneath the road. The well may have given up its flow rather than stop being worshipped.

S of avenue leading into farmyard. Oval, dry-stone walled structure (H 0.92m; max. diam. 1.1m); roofed with lintel. Interior white-washed; well dry. Collapsed stone-lined channel (L 1.1m; Wth 0.5m) leads into dry streambed; joins other stream channeled into pipe under avenue. (pers. comm. M. Moore) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
