What is recorded here

Gloragh Wells is a holy well in Ballydine (Kilmurry parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. The 2011 inventory records an underground stream emerging from a rock cleft at the base of a steep south-facing slope and forming a large pool about 0.08 metres deep. It describes the water flowing quickly past a flat slab set on edge from the eastern side of the slope before joining the River Suir 100 metres to the south. The account could not locate the other two wells mapped in the Gloragh complex.

At the base of a steep S-facing slope. An underground stream flows out from a cleft in a rock at the base of the hill. It forms a large, shallow pool (D c. 0.08m) which flows off into a stream which joins the River Suir 100m to the S. A flat slab set on edge projects out from the E side of the hillslope forming a partial entrance to the mouth of the stream. The water coming from the mouth is fast-flowing. The entrance stone juts out into the mouth but is not resting on the bed. This is the location of the NE well. The area W of this is heavily overgrown with scrub and undergrowth as is the area to the S. It was not possible to locate the other 2 wells marked on the OS 6-inch map as part of the Gloragh complex. There is no evidence of devotions. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
