What is recorded here

The 1838 OS Letters record a holy well in Garbhlagh townland as follows: 'There is a well called Cloona-gcross Holy Well on the lands of Garbhlagh on Lord Sligo's Estate, at which is a remarkable stone, it is said with a hole made in one end of it. There was a Patron held here formerly on Garland Sunday, Domhnach Croim Duibh.' (O’Flanagan 1927). The precise location of this well is unknown.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
