What is recorded here

Described as a holy well only on the 1940 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and located at the bottom of a steep E-facing wooded and overgrown scarp down to the flood-plain of the N-S River Slaney which is c. 150m to the E. This is natural spring with no evidence of any structure or that it was ever venerated. It is known locally as Collier's Well, and a NE-SW stream separates it from church (WX020-021001-), which is c. 40m to the NE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 31 May, 2012
