What is recorded here

Ó Danachair (1955, 208) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'Lady's Well on 1840 map. A strong clear bubbling spring in a horseshoe-shaped well lined with good dry-stone to ground level. Rounds were made within living memory, but there are no devotions now'.

Linked to a local tradition of "rounds," the well was likely used for ritual walking or prayer, a common practice at holy wells in Ireland associated with healing or protection. No specific saint or cure is recorded, but such wells often had connections to female saints or local folklore.
