What is recorded here

Formerly located by the roadside on the outskirts of Swords village. There is no visible surface trace of this possible holy well as it has been built over. Local tradition held that the waters cured eyes and mouth, the name is derived from 'sliop' meaning a lip or mouth (O'Reilly 1910, 159; Ó Danachair 1958, 81).
