Indicated

Depicted as an oval pond (dims. c 20m x c. 12m) on the 1840 and 1927 eds of the OS 6-inch map, but named as 'St Bridgid's Well' only on the 1927 ed. It supplied water to a nearby brewery until it closed in 1990. This is an oval pond (dims. c. 20m E-W; c. 15m N-S) surrounded by a stone wall and incorporating a fountain, but there is no indication that it was ever venerated. (Bradley et al. 1989, 41).

St. Brigid's Well at Fairlane is associated with St. Brigid of Kildare, a prominent Christian saint in Ireland, venerated for her miracles and compassion. Traditionally, holy wells dedicated to her were believed to offer cures for ailments, particularly those related to women's health, and were often sites of pilgrimage and seasonal rituals.
