What is recorded here

Situated on a level landscape. A well is depicted on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map at Genstown and is described in gothic lettering on both as Trinity Well. According to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 the pattern, which had been held on Trinity Sunday (the first Sunday after Pentecost), had been discontinued since c. 1800 (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 201). There is no evidence of a well or local knowledge of one in a poorly drained area. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 18 February, 2014
