What is recorded here

According to Jackson (1979-80, 145) a holy well in Derrinturn known as St. Gorm's well was reputed never to run dry. The exact location of this monument is unknown. It was one of two holy wells (see also KD008-034----) in this townland (Jackson op. cit.). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

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.
