The OSL (Herity 2002, 38) record, '… St Farannan's (sic) well, where stations were formerly performed on the 12th of June (some say July). Farannan is considered the Patron-Saint' . According to Jackson (1979-80, 148) various cures were said to have been obtained there, and anyone drinking the water would loose the desire for intoxicating liquor. The well was located on level pasture c. 100m S of a broad expanse of bog and c. 450m WSW of the traditional site of St Farnan's monastery (KD013-008----). There is no obvious visible surface trace of the monument. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
