What is recorded here
Lady's Well stands in Mullinsallagh, County Antrim, a place where clean water has likely flowed for centuries. The official record gives no exact date, but the name suggests women once gathered there to pray, heal or remember. A well called holy in a Christian country is never ordinary. It is a meeting point for the living, the dead and the gods no one admits still watching.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: LADY'S WELL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Linked to the veneration of the Virgin Mary, Lady’s Well is traditionally associated with healing and fertility. Local folklore suggests that the well was visited by women seeking blessings for childbirth or to cure barrenness, with offerings such as coins or ribbons left at the site.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
