What is recorded here

No visible surface trace of site described by Ó Danachair (1955, 211) as 'a small well in a little grove of whitethorn ... where rounds are still made, especially in may'. It was dedicated to St Ita (ibid.). Well was at side of public road but there is now no indication of its precise location.
