What is recorded here
Ó Danachair (1955, 204) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'St Munchin's Well on 1889 25-inch O.S map. In Bruree village, behind the old village pump. No devotions now, but rounds were made within living memory. The water cured bad stomach and sore eyes. Legends: The well moved when desecrated. The saint caused the well to spring up when refused a drink'.
