What is recorded here

Ó Danachair (1955, 206) recorded the following details about this holy well; ‘"Lady's Well" on 1840 map. A small spring in an open field. For long neglected, but recently embellished with a statue of Our Lady and enclosed by a fence and gate. Formerly had a large whitethorn tree; has a small whitethorn bush now. Rounds are still made: the water cures sore eyes. A pattern was held on 25th March, but is long discontinued. Rags, were hung on the whitethorn as offerings'.
