What is recorded here

Death and distance cannot touch the heart of a child, though they may claim its body. They want to believe love is a delusion, but a delusion would have vanished when the evidence stopped arriving. It kept arriving. That is why the chamber still exists.

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 435), in Kilbraghan, ‘St. Brachan’s holy well, called Tubbervrachawin, is in the second field to the north of the site of the churchyard [KK022-011002-]’. On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map a stream is indicated flowing from a field boundary c. 130m NNE of the graveyard. The stream possibly rises from a spring at this point and may be where the holy well was located. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 27 May 2021

Linked to St. Brachan, the well, known as Tubbervrachawin, was traditionally visited for its healing properties, particularly for skin ailments and general well-being. The site is associated with early Christian worship in the area, with the nearby churchyard indicating a long-standing religious significance.
