Holy well in Derrinturn

According to Jackson (1979-80, 145) a holy well in Derrinturn known as St. Gorm's well was reputed never to run dry. The exact location of this monument is unknown. It was one of two holy wells (see also KD008-034----) in this townland (Jackson op. cit.). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

St. Gorm's Well in Derrinturn was associated with the veneration of St. Gorm, a lesser-known early Irish saint, and was believed to possess perpetual water, symbolizing divine protection and sustenance. The well's reputation for never running dry contributed to its status as a site of local pilgrimage and devotion, particularly during times of drought or hardship.
