What is recorded here

John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 describes a holy well at Kildavin Upper, which was known as St. Catherine’s well and which had a cure for sore eyes. It was still being used at that time, but its location was not recorded (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 367). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 29 May, 2013

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.
