What is recorded here
Holy Well stands in Derrynisk, County Antrim, but no human date, event or visible function has survived to explain why it was marked. That absence is not a flaw; it is the shape of the place. Judge the well by what it still does: hold water, receive breath, and return quiet.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
