What is recorded here

Unlocated holy well within the townland of Saltpans, listed by Ó Muirgheasa as well no. 87 (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 156). Described by Ó Muirgheasa as, 'there is a strong tradition of a Holy Well at the Saltpans, just at the angle where the old road to Rathmullen meets the present one. Modern drainage has destroyed it' (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 156). Compiled by Caimin O'Brien Date of upload/revision: 10 January 2012

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
