What is recorded here

Bell Well is a well in Rossacrow (Aghacrew parish), County Tipperary, Ireland. A modern sandstone canopy and an access road from the main road enclose the source. Earlier surveys labelled it a holy well, but field inspection found no evidence for that role or a date before 1700.

At base of a W-facing slope of hill face on wet poorly drained valley in upland region. Natural spring well enclosed by modern sandstone canopy which was constructed recently along with access road from main road. The well has no surviving religious associations. This was classified in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1997) as a 'Holy well'. Following field inspection there was no evidence to suggest this was a holy well or a well or pre-1700 date. It remains classified as a 'Well' but is not included in the current remit of the ASI. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
