What is recorded here

Holy Well in County Cork is a dry stone-lined hole beside a bullaun stone, its capstone dumped like a finished meal tray. It stopped appearing on maps before modern memory and may have stopped being holy long before that. What remains is a small sharp edge in the pasture, waiting for someone to notice the absence of water instead of complaining about it.

Not shown on 1842 and 1901 OS 6-inch maps. In pasture, c. 65m WNW of bullaun stone (CO071-010----). Stone-lined well, now dry; covering capstone lies beside it. Not in holy use. 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.
