What is recorded here
On N side of graveyard (CO043-01401-), stone-lined well (L c. 0.9m; Wth c. 0.65m; D c. 1.1m) approached by two stone steps, well set into ground; still in use. Overlooking it on S side white metal cross and modern holy statue of Mary in wooden shelter. Collections of quartz pebbles lie about. According to O'Donoghue (1914) the well is visited on St. JOhn's Eve and the 'healing nature of its waters is far-famed'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
