What is recorded here
Located on the roadside and named 'St. Brigid's' on the current (1939) ed. of the OS 6-inch map, but according to Jackson (1979-80, 148), the well was not associated with any pattern or tradition, and is overgrown and disused. A second, anonymous, source (JKAS 1899-1902, 269) records that an old man pointed out St Brigid's Well 'close to the spot where the ancient ford (KD014-055----) crossed the Liffey' .
