What is recorded here
Water has always risen through Kiltierney stone, feeding a well inside an ecclesial enclosure where prayer and drinking shared one act. People may have knelt at its edge before dawn, believing the cold flood touched fever or grief. The well remains scheduled and visible, holding that old certainty without needing a date to prove it.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL within ECCLESIASTICAL ENCLOSURE FER 154:005. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. 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.
