Unlocated holy well dedicated to St. Mary in the townland of Killyverry. Described in the 1937/8 Schools Folklore Collection as, in 'The field in which the well is belongs to Miss Houston, Killyverry, Newtowncunningham…water cure for some ailement…especially for sprains'. 'There was an old graveyard in the same place as St. Mary's church and well, but there are no ruins of it now'. ' The graveyard lay in the direction of the north west. It was triangular in shape and it was level'. The place where it was is one mile outside Newtowncunningham and about three hundred yards from my house [Kathleen Joye, Killyverry] (Reel 252 v1107 Newtowncunningham)'. This well was listed by Ó Muirgheasa in 1936 (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 156, no. 83).
