What is recorded here
Drumard holds a holy well whose age and purpose remain uncertain. The official record captures only a map point and a name, leaving the water, stones and prayers behind that name to imagine. A person may have knelt at its edge in darkness, poured out water or dropped a coin, believing the site could touch the unseen. The absence of date does not remove the well from the world; it refuses to be reduced to a number.
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.
