What is recorded here

In pasture, on a slight SE-facing slope. A spring well enclosed by a drystone wall (H 0.75m). The well is now dry due to land drainage works but the water formerly flowed out to the S through a lintelled opening. According to local information, the well is dedicated to St Laghteen. A mature beech tree grows immediately behind it. Another holy well dedicated to St Laghteen (CO050-097----) lies c. 900m to the NNE. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
