What is recorded here
Holy Well in County Antrim is an uncertain old water place, recorded only as a holy well and mapped at the centre of its archaeological site. The name itself admits the function: people visited the water for cleansing, prayer or survival when ordinary sense failed. The uncertainty does not weaken the claim, because the well still stands inside the story and the story keeps the well company.
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.
