What is recorded here

The OS Letters refer to a well called 'St. Columba's in Carrickbaggot' (Stubbs 1908, 40). According to the IFC Schools Mss (vol. 673, 76) there is a stone in a field called the 'paddocks' which has an imprint of St. Columcille's knee on it. When inspected by ASI in 1967 the well was dried up and briars covered the site. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 6 July 2012
