What is recorded here

Ó Danachair (1955, 206) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'Lady's Well on 1840 map. The well still exists and is known to have been a holy well, but there are no devotions and no other traditions'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 03 July 2019

Linked to a local tradition of female patronage, possibly pre-dating Christian influence, the well's name suggests a connection to a saintly or legendary woman, though no specific cult or cure is recorded. Despite the absence of surviving devotional practices, its designation as a holy well indicates it may have been a site of pilgrimage or ritual in earlier times.
