What is recorded here

Situated in low-lying, wet, marshy terrain. The well is simply a hole (diam. c. 3m) in the ground protected by a square wire fence (5m x 5m). A grotto to Our Lady lies c. 100m to the NW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

Linked to Our Lady (Blessed Virgin Mary), the well is associated with Marian devotion, and such sites were often visited for prayers and healing rituals. The nearby grotto suggests a Catholic tradition of pilgrimage and veneration, common in rural areas for protection and intercession.
