What is recorded here

Marked as 'St Carthag's Well' on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and as St. Mocolomog's Well on the 1927 ed. Situated in mixed woodland towards the top of a steep SW-facing slope on the N side of the valley of the E-W Glenakeefe River close to where it meets the N-S Glounagad Stream. This is a natural spring surrounded on three sides by a masonry wall. Visitations were made at Easter until c. 1980. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 21 February 2011
