What is recorded here

Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as St. Mary’s Well on both. It is located on a gentle SW-facing slope with the NW-SE River Sow c. 150m to the SW. According to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 the pattern was held on the 15th August (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 356), but the well is no longer visible at ground level in pasture. It is described locally as having had a canopy and steps leading down to it, but there is no memory of a pattern. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 31 August, 2012
