Lady Well (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Marked on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described in gothic lettering as Lady Well on both. It is located on a S-facing slope at the head of a slight W-E valley in the lower E-facing foothills of Slievecoiltia. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. There is no evidence that it was ever venerated, and it is not known locally as a holy well. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 13 September, 2012

Linked to a local tradition of healing and devotion, the Lady Well is associated with Marian veneration, common in many Irish holy wells. It was likely a site of pilgrimage and ritual, with offerings and prayers for health and protection, reflecting broader Celtic Christian practices.
