Ladys Well

Holy well

What is recorded here

Ladys Well is a vanished holy well in County Limerick, remembered only through vague local tradition near an early church enclosure. It likely stood ten metres south-southwest of that ancient boundary, joining Sunday's Well and St Patick's Well in a forgotten cluster of sacred water. The earth has swallowed its stones and markup, leaving behind a gentle slope where devotion once seeped into the ground.
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope; c. 10m SSW of early ecclesiastical enclosure (LI037-025003-). No evident trace remains. Ó Danachair (1955, 204) noted 'only a vague tradition in the district' of this well. Site of Sunday's Well (LI037-025005-) c. 40m to SSW, and St Patick's Well (LI037-025006-) c. 100m to E.
