What is recorded here

Ó Danachair (1955, 216) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'St Bridget's Well' local name. This well was first noted by O'Kelly, North Munster Antiquarian Journal, 1944, 17. "Dedicated to St Bridget. Devotion to it has ceased but was revived in 1940 on St Bridget's Day. Original ritual is not known. The well is badly kept and is much damaged by cattle". Not on maps. Legend: St Brighid, refused a drink, struck the ground and the well sprang up'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 02 July 2019

Dedicated to St. Brigid, the well is associated with her widespread veneration in Ireland, particularly for its healing properties and as a site for rituals related to fertility and protection. Local tradition may have linked the well to water cures and seasonal observances, reflecting the broader cult of St. Brigid in early Christian Ireland.
