What is recorded here

Unlocated holy well possibly located in the townland of Trusk which was recorded by Ó Muirgheasa in 1936 (No. 73). Ó Muirgheasa recorded that 'coming inland we find a Holy Well in the mountains to the east of Barnesmore, and on the Donegal side of Lough Trusk. Stations are still made there on 29th June' (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 155). It is not clear what townland this holy well was located in, it may have been located in another townland close to Lough Trusk.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record DG086-006
