Holy well in Knockanreagh — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Knockanreagh held a holy well on the north side of a field fence, barely thirty centimetres above ground, yet people still visited it in living memory. The earth swallowed every stone and marker, leaving only a hidden dip and a chain of local belief. That absence is not a mistake; it is the shape of the place. The well stopped advertising itself and waited for someone who already knew where to look.

According to local information, it occured in N side of field fence c. 0.25m above ground level. Used in living memory. No visible surface trace. (CMSS). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
