What is recorded here

St. Mogue's well in Glebe, County Carlow, still holds a hollowed bullaun stone set into the wall beside the water. The repeated prayer that cut the rock may have belonged to a hermit, a mother, or a stranger in pain, yet the shape records that someone stood there long enough to wear stone into cup. The well does not need a grand claim; it keeps the patience of human bodies and the certainty that repeated love can mark even hard things.

Referred to as St. Mogue's well. Bullaun stone (CW009-028007-) placed on wall beside it. (Harbison 1991, 192) Reference: Harbison P. 1991 'Early Christian Antiquities at Clonmore, Co.

Linked to St. Mogue (Mochua), a 7th-century Irish saint associated with healing and monastic foundations, particularly in County Carlow. The presence of a bullaun stone suggests a tradition of anointing or ritual use, often connected to curing ailments.
