The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
St. Thomas’ Roman Catholic Chapel in Muirkirk was originally built in the 19th century and served as a place of worship before being converted into a school in the early 20th century. While no specific holy well or ritual site is directly associated with the chapel in recorded sources, the dedication to St. Thomas may reflect a local tradition of veneration for the Apostle, who was historically linked to healing and protection in various parts of Scotland.
