What is recorded here

Towards the top of a rise in pasture. Marked only on the 1907 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as ‘Marshall’s Well’. It is described as a well which was formerly venerated (Faughnan 1943, file No. 145), and it had a cure for cattle ailments as recorded in the 1930s Schools Manuscript Collection (see this web-page access on 17/12/2015: http://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4602728/4598795) However, the well is not now visible at ground level. The area has been planted as a coniferous forest between 2000 and 2005 (OSAP). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
