Holy well in Graney East

Known locally as 'Mary's Well', still visited and kept clean. Situated close to the site of the nunnery (KD040-015----). Fitzgerald describes a carved stone, known as 'the Greek Stone' which stood at the well until about 1875, when it was destroyed by the local blacksmith (JKAS 1891, 42).

Linked to Saint Mary, the well is traditionally associated with healing and fertility. Local tradition holds that the carved 'Greek Stone' once used in connection with the well may have predated Christian use, possibly indicating an earlier pagan or ritual significance.
