What is recorded here

Holy well in Gardens is a ritual site where clean water still rises beside Kilkenny City. People may have drunk from it, washed wounds or left small gifts before churches and roads changed the neighbourhood. The well remains a quiet marker of faith, memory and survival in an ordinary place.
