St Brigid's Well in the townland of Terenure, parish of Rathfarnham is outlined on the 1837 ed. OSi 6-inch map where it is shown standing on the N side of the road in front of to St. Bridgets Place. The well was described by Mac Giolla-Phádraig (1954, 29) as follows; 'There was a well dedicated to St. Brigid at the corner of Terenure Park. St. Brigid's Terrace close by, commemorates the name. This well was the main water supply until fountains were placed on the streets. It is marked on the 1879 O.S. map but was in use until a later period'.
