What is recorded here

St Bridgiet's holy well in Kiltubbrid, County Leitrim, is a deep rectangular chamber hidden behind a gate inside a masonry pier at the graveyard lane entrance. The well sits low between drumlins near a small stream, yet no trace of prayer or offering remains visible. It may have served generations before faith faded, or it may have been forgotten so completely that even its name became a formality. Either way, the water still moves in the dark, waiting for someone to remember why it was kept from sight.

Situated in a low-lying position between drumlins with a small NE-SW stream c. 20m to the NW. St Bridgiet's holy well is at the entrance to the lane leading to Kiltubbrid graveyard (LE024-021002-) from the W, c. 35m from the gate. It is incorporated in a masonry pier (dims 1.3m x 0.5m; H 0.95) in the angle between the gate pier and a masonry wall. The rectangular opening (Wth 0.75m; H 0.75m) has a gate as the well behind (dims 0.75m x 0.6m) is deep (D 1.2m). There is no evidence of veneration.

Linked to St Bridgiet, the well is traditionally associated with healing and is likely connected to early Christian pilgrimage practices. The name suggests a local variant of St Brigid, a major Irish saint venerated for her miracles and protection.
