What is recorded here

In lowlying damp pasture, located 20m to WNW of a graveyard (MA091-023003-) within which is a ruined church (MA091-023001-). The well is not named on the 1838 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps but the 1838 OS Letters 1838 records that it was 'called the Well of Kilcolman. At it stations are performed on Good Fridays.' (O’Flanagan 1927, 448 (186)). The well consisted of a natural spring and is no longer in use as a holy well. A modern pump-house now stands on the site, and a field drain channels the water to SW to intersect with other field ditches. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 February 2022
