What is recorded here

Situated in the valley of a small N-S stream just as it terminates in a tear-shaped lake. A well described as ‘Lady Well’ in gothic script is depicted on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map, but its status is not known. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 14 April 2022
linked to a small, now-faded stone cross and a circular stone enclosure, suggesting possible Christian or pre-Christian ritual use. The well is traditionally associated with Saint Brigid, and local folklore claims it was a site of healing, particularly for women’s ailments and fertility issues.
