What is recorded here

Holy Well in County Meath, Ireland is a ritual site where clean water rose through earth and stone. People may have drunk, washed or prayed there, believing the well held more life than ordinary rain. The name suggests reverence, while the hidden depth suggests danger. Both ideas fit one small place where human wonder still meets clean water.
