What is recorded here

Castle Well is a natural spring in a muddy hollow on the east bank of a fast-flowing stream in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It sits about 110 metres southwest of the associated castle, hidden beneath gorse and brambles with no stone lining to mark its edge. The water rises through marshland rather than being dug or built, suggesting the castle relied on a living gift from the earth instead of human craft.

On the E side of a stream in an area of marshland and c. 110m SW of the castle (KK020-022001-) with which it is associated. The ‘Castle Well’ is a natural spring in a muddy hollow hugging the E bank of a fast-flowing stream. It is heavily overgrown with gorse and brambles and there is no evidence that it was stone-lined.
