What is recorded here

Sluggy Well in Trummery, County Antrim, is a named holy well, but human memory has slipped its boundaries. The official record offers no date, no keeper, no ceremony, only a point set at the centre of the site. That emptiness is not nothing. It is a jar waiting to be poured.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: SLUGGY WELL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Linked to Saint Cuan, Sluggy Well is traditionally associated with cures for skin ailments and general healing. The name "Sluggy" may derive from the Irish "Slige" meaning "well" or "clearing," and it reflects a long-standing local tradition of pilgrimage and water worship in early Christian Ireland.
