What is recorded here

Holy Well is a ritual site in County Clare, Ireland. Whether it marked a drinking place, a healing belief or a boundary between people and the land, water gave the site its power. The name suggests prayer, memory and repeated visitation, even if the well itself no longer stands obvious on the ground.
