What is recorded here

Marked on all OS eds. The NW well is a small subrectangular spring well, open at SE and lined on three sides with stone and on the fourth with natural rock. A second well lies 10m to SE. This is a large, shallow pool faced with drystone masonry and natural rock. A nearby outcrop called Carraig Crom may refer to the mythological pre-Christian idol Crom Cruaich (local information). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
