What is recorded here

Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as 'Maddockstown Well' in Gothic script which suggests that it was considered an antiquity when the map was being drawn up. It would appear to have been a domestic well, described by Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 366) as, 'a good well'. He mentions that there is no holy well in Maddockstown.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KK020-062
