What is recorded here

Known as the 'Blessed Well'. A little pool (diam. 0.4m) which has a concrete beam across its front end, leading to a stream. A small concrete manhole-size covered well is beside the original. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 07 February 2013
Linked to Saint Murry (Máedóc), a 6th-century Irish saint associated with several sites in Munster; the well is traditionally believed to have healing properties, particularly for eye ailments and general purification. The site reflects a common pattern of early Christian holy wells, often associated with local saints and used in both religious and folkloric practices.
