What is recorded here
Drumlane in County Derry once held a holy well so clear it seemed to cut through time itself. People may have knelt at its edge, drinking water that tasted of rain and forgotten prayers. The well vanished without warning, leaving only a damp shadow in the grass and a sudden hunger for certainty in everyone who stood beside it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL (O.S. memoir site, unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
