What is recorded here

Ó Danachair (1955, 206) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'Toberreendoney "Lady's Well" and "St Bridget's Well" on 1840 map. "Three holy wells, not much frequented at present" OSNB. Two of the wells still exist, the third has been closed up. A vague tradition that there were four holy wells here. No names are remembered. Devotions have long since ceased'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 03 July 2019
Linked to St Brigid, the well is traditionally associated with healing and fertility, reflecting the saint's widespread veneration in early Irish Christianity. The site's dual names, Lady's Well and St Bridget's Well, suggest a possible fusion of pre-Christian and Christian traditions.
