The only evidence that the chalybeate spring known as the Spa Well may have been a holy well is from Jones in Grove White (1905-25, vol. 1, 106) who says it was venerated from pre patrician times and that druids had a sanctuary there. O'Reilly (1987, 131) says it was not known as a holy well although visited by many people. A stone which was erected over the well had the following inscription: 'Dr. John Creagh 1780' (ibid.).
