What is recorded here

At T-junction in road. Overgrown at present and no longer venerated. In similar condition in Hartnett's time (1939, 196), although some votive offerings then remained. Quarry (1896, 382) noted thorn bush with rags at well, which he says was locally called 'Bat's well'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
