What is recorded here
Along a dry stream bed in grassland on W outskirts of Tuam town (GA029-199----). Its name and representation on OS 6-inch maps suggest that this was a holy well. However, it could simply have taken its name from the 'Presbytery' marked on the maps 70m to NE. No visible surface trace survives. A holy well (GA029-177----) lies 160m to SSW, and a named well (GA029-176----) 125m to WSW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
