What is recorded here

On a WSW-facing slope, within a tree plantation. A spring well, dedicated to St Brigid, is within an oval-shaped surround (1.9m ENE-WSW; 1.72m NNW-SSE) defined by a stone wall (H 0.1-0.3m; Wth 0.35m). The top of the wall is level but is punctuated at regular intervals by a series of sixteen small slabs set on edge. Concrete has been applied to the internal face of the wall (H c. 1.2m) and to a lesser extent to the upper portion of the external face. A break in the wall at SW, with a kneeling place, marks the entrance. There is a holy tree (LF019-073001-) c. 1m to the SW. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 7 June 2013
