Unlocated well within the townland of Rostyduff Lower. According to Lynch (1994, 646) there is a holy well known as ‘St John’s Well’ in the townland of Rostyduff that is mentioned in the 1930s Irish Folklore Commission, Schools Manuscript Collection (IFC S 914: 559). The folklore recorded that ‘there are seven springs, and if a person suffering from a pain in the stomach rises water out of the seven springs, he will be cured’ (Lynch 1994, 646).

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.
