What is recorded here

The old well in Moneyquin has lost its exact position, leaving behind a ghost of water and worship rather than a visible stone circle. People may have drawn fresh water from that hidden depth for generations, believing the local land could give life back through simple thirst. Forget the exact coordinates and the well disappears again. Remember the desire that kept returning to that place instead.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: THE OLD WELL (unlocated). 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 Fillan, the well is traditionally associated with healing and was historically visited for its supposed curative properties, particularly for skin ailments and general wellness. Pilgrimages to the site may have involved leaving coins or small offerings as part of the ritual.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
