Linked to a local tradition of healing, Ladys Well may have been dedicated to a regional or lesser-known saint, as was common with many holy wells in Ireland. The site's enclosure and orientation suggest a continued use of the well into the modern period, though its specific folklore or associated cure is not recorded.
