What is recorded here

Holy well in Cregganore: a small horseshoe-shaped spring, 3 m east-west and 2 m north-south, opening west beside a fording point on a Galway stream. A moss-covered stone wall holds back the rising ground, and the water has likely marked this crossing for as long as people could wade it. Children’s graves nearby suggest the well belonged to life, death and prayer rather than wonder alone.

This spring well lies c. 2m to the S of a stream and immediately to the E of a natural fording point on it. It is horseshoe-shaped in plan (3m E-W; 2m N-S) and opens to the W. It is enclosed by a moss-covered stone wall which forms a revetment against the naturally rising ground to the E of it. It is possibly a holy well and may be associated with another holy well (GA114-066002-) across the stream c. 66m to the N. A children's burial ground lies c. 25m to the NW.
