What is recorded here

Jewsharp Well stood on a stream near the River Nanny in Tuam, marked on early maps but erased by 1932. It may have been a holy well, feeding devotion or thirst in the northwest suburbs. Whatever it gave, the town took back, burying the water and forgetting the name.

On a stream close to its confluence with the River Nanny in NW suburbs of Tuam town (GA029-199----). Marked on 1st ed. OS 6-inch map but evidently gone by the time of 3rd ed. (1932). No visible surface trace survives. A possible holy well (GA029-175----) lies 125m to ENE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
