What is recorded here

Oldcourt in County Kilkenny, Ireland, holds a ritual holy well where local lives may have turned water into prayer. The place still belongs to the region, but the written record has not yet appeared in public archives. That absence does not diminish the well; it keeps the site resisting a final answer.

The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV). Currently the information for this record has not been uploaded. To access available information for research purposes please make an appointment in advance with the Archive Unit (open Fridays 10.00 am – 5.00 pm), Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, The Custom House, Dublin 1 D01W6XO or email NMarchive@housing.gov.ie.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
