HOLY WELL in Deer Park

HOLY WELL

What is recorded here

Deer Park in County Derry holds a holy well whose age and exact purpose remain unknown. The official record points only to a marked archaeological site, leaving the water, stones and rituals to imagination. People may have drunk, washed or prayed there before written memory began. The well still belongs to the land, waiting for a human story to emerge beside it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
