What is recorded here

Joyce (1912) mentions St. Ossan's (Assan's) holy Well which was formerly in a field between the church and railway station at Clontarf but is covered up and drains into the Santry River. The site was marked by a depression in the ground and a bush (Joyce 1912, 319). The precise location of this well has not been identified (Ó Danachair 1958, 78).

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.
