What is recorded here

Located in the valley of a small WNW-ESE stream, just SW of the stream and immediately S of the R374 Fethard to Slade road. A well is marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as Lady Well in gothic lettering on both. It was probably dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, but it is no longer extant in an area of poor pasture. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12 February, 2014

Linked to a tradition of healing and local veneration, Lady Well is associated with the cult of a local or regional saint, possibly St. Brigid or a similar female holy figure, common in Irish well traditions. The well's long-standing recognition in local cartography suggests a continuity of religious or folk practice from early modern times.
