What is recorded here
Sunday Well has vanished into Limerick pasture, leaving behind only a vague tradition and the ghost of a sacred name. It likely served the nearby ecclesiastical enclosure, joining Lady's Well and St Patick's Well in a forgotten triangle of prayer. The earth may still hold its cold water, waiting for someone brave enough to dig through the grass and remember what the district has already let go.
In pasture, on land sloping gently to the S; c. 50m 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 Lady's Well (LI037-025005-) c. 40m to NNE, and St Patick's Well (LI037-025006-) c. 100m to E.
