What is recorded here
Holy wells and hidden water: yes. That much is clear. The story is to find the exact well, not to repeat a warning about every possible well.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL (OS 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.
