What is recorded here

Shearman (1874-5, 306), records that a holy well (KD010-024----) was 'still frequented by pilgrims who hang up votive offerings of rags on an ancient thorn which overhangs the well'. The well lies in a small thicket on the S-roadside at the N-foot of St Patrick's Hill (OD 308 feet). None of the bushes/trees in the vicinity appear to carry votive offerings.
