What is recorded here

Described as 'Brides Well' in Gothic lettering on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map. John O'Donovan, writing c. 1840, denies that there is any holy well in Kilmuckridge (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 225). It is located on a shelf on the SW-facing slope of a N-S ridge with a NW-SE stream c. 200m to the W. It was removed c. 1970 and nothing is visible at ground level in a scrub-covered area.
