What is recorded here

While referring to ‘Saint Dallan’s well’ (KK023-053003- original location / KK023-054---- present location), O’Kelly (1969, 175) mentions, ‘there is also a Lady’s Well in the same field’. This suggests a possible holy well dedicated to Our Lady. There is no other well indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map or on the 1947 revision in the fields where St Dallan’s Well is indicated. The precise location of this possible holy well is unknown.

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.
