What is recorded here
Water may have filled that hidden Derry hole while region and memory shifted around it. Certainty is not available now, but life may have used the well before written records appeared.
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.
