What is recorded here

On S side of holy well (CO109-01501-). Subrectangular stone (H 0.15m; 0.86m x 0.57m). Two circular hollows (diam. 0.18m; D 0.06m: diam 0.23m; D 0.1m) at N end of upper surface. Local tradition that these were the marks of a fugitive's knees who knelt at the well for a drink (Ó Riordáin 1932, 65). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
