What is recorded here

Kilclogherane is the last refuge for that forgotten well. You can still picture it in the 1940s, an earthen hole propped open by stone slabs, holding a weather-begrimed statue of St Anthony. The exact spot has slipped away, though it likely crouched near the bullaun stone. That is the true danger of memory; it does not warn you before it deletes the thing you loved.

In the 1940s an earthen well, whose sides were supported by stone slabs, and which contained 'an old weather-begrimed statue of St Anthony' was described (ITA). The precise location of this well is not known but it is likely to have been in the vicinity of the bullaun stone (KE057-098001-).

Linked to St Anthony, the holy well in Kilclogherane was associated with traditional Catholic devotions and local healing practices. The presence of a weathered statue suggests long-standing veneration, though the well's exact location and specific cures are not recorded.
