What is recorded here

In woodland, atop steep E side of Awbeg River valley, immediately W of tea house (14958). Well dried up though small stream issues from it. Surrounded by displaced large stones which according to landowner, formerly lined the well. According to O'Reilly (1987, 130), called St Peter's well, no patterns were held there. Not known by landowner as holy well but there is a tradition that tea house is built on site of a church. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
