What is recorded here

Marked on all OS eds. This now infilled well, dedicated to St Mogue, apparently comprised a roughly circular unlined spring (diam. 2m). A largely grassed-over, horseshoe-shaped mound of loose stones is situated nearby. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008

Dedicated to St Mogue (also known as Mothae or Mochua), the well is associated with the 7th-century Irish saint linked to the monastery at Clare, County Clare. Traditionally, such wells were visited for healing and blessings, with water often used for washing ailments or carried home for later use.
