Described in 1936 by Ó Muirgheasa as, 'Near the old graveyard (DG103-011001-) on the hilltop at Racoo is a well issuing in three adjacent springs like the leaves of a shamrock. Has the repute of being a Holy Well, but no stations. St. Patrick founded the first church here, and the Litany of Aenghus Ceile De' mentions " The seven bishops of Rath Cunge" , (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 145). There is a well indicated on the 1900 ed. OS 6-inch map located 150m N of the graveyard (DG103-011001-) which may be the holy well.

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.
