What is recorded here

St. Eusebius’ Well (WX037-023----) is situated towards the head of a small W-E valley and in an recess cut into an embankment on the N side of an E-W laneway. John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 recorded that the well provided a cure for sore eyes and headaches, and that there was a rag tree adjacent. (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 359). A holly tree growing from the embankment of the recess at N has some hanging baskets and plastic bags, some of which appear to contain samples of medical bandages. The church (WX037-024001-) is c. 100m to the S. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 June, 2013
