OS 36 (Precise location not known) 58. There is some confusion regarding the location of Ó Muirgheasa No. 66. It proved impossible to discover the location of this holy well. Described by Ó Muirgheasa in 1936 as 'There is a Holy Well, now nameless, in Moyagh, two miles from Milford, and near Tullybeg N. S. Stations are still made there, but only at two seasons of the year, namely, the last Sunday in April or first and second Sunday in May, and the last Sunday in July or first Sunday in August. There are five cairns near the stream, and a decade of the Rosary is said going round each cairn in making the turus' (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 154). This holy well may be located in the townland of Oghill or the townland of Tullybeg.
The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated.
