What is recorded here

On the floor of a small river valley, at the foot of steep slopes to the N and W, in wet pasture. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 464), ‘“St. Andrew’s Well,” formerly holy, is a couple of hundred yards south of the church [of Kilmadum, KK014-020001-], but is now neglected. There are several springs in the vicinity but the precise location of the holy well could not be established. According to O'Kelly (1969, 84) St Andrew's Well is Ballyfoyle townland, which is immediately S of Kilmadum townland. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 15 June 2020
