Bowman (1934, 490) recorded holy well in J. Vaughan's, 50 yds S of burial ground (14542). Rounds had been discontinued there prior to Bowman's (ibid.) inspection though Mrs Vaughan remembered votive offerings on tree and rounds being paid during May and 4th day of August. 'This must have been Aug. 4th, the feast day of St. Miodhnat, to whom the well must have been dedicated' (ibid.). Exact location not known. Unnamed well, marked on 1937 OS 6-inch map c. 100m S of this burial ground, may indicate location of holy well.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
