What is recorded here

In pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope. No visible surface trace. According to local information, people in the former Ballygriffin House (TS060-055----), c. 200m to SW, used to draw water from this well. Probably disused when a later well was sunk close to ESE of the existing modern house. Named Lady's Well on OS 6-inch map editions. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
Linked to a local tradition of healing, the well was reportedly used by residents of Ballygriffin House for its supposed curative properties. No specific saint or folklore is associated with the site, though its historical use suggests a long-standing local reverence.
