Situated at the crest of the NE-facing slope of a drumlin. It is called St Brigid's Well and is renowned for the cure of toothache (Clancy and Forde 1980, 7-8). A cleft in the bedrock (diam. 0.22m; D 0.5m) forms the well and nearby is a pilgrim's cairn (dims 5m NE-SW; 3.3m NW-SE; H c. 0.3m). The well is still venerated. 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
