Holy well in Knockanroe (muskerry West By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Knockanroe held a holy well beside a stream valley until men infilled it around 1986. The waterlogged ground still marks the lost chamber, preserving a place where ordinary pasture once touched ritual memory. Forgetfulness removed the basin, but the damp earth remembers the shape of devotion.

In pasture, on E side of and overlooking stream valley. Waterlogged area indicates site of well. Infilled c. 1986. Known locally as site of holy well. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
