Sunday Well

Described 'There is a well, called 'Sunday Well on the OS 6-inch map to the NE of the altar (WM024-008001-) about 5 meters distant. It comprises a structure built of large stones, roughly mortared and forming a covering over a font, about 11cm in diam., circular and filled with water. The font is about 12cm in depth. A number of whitethorn trees and bushes grow in the vicinity of the well and altar. There is a pilgrimage to the well with mass on the 15th of August. The water from the well is said to contain a cure for bad veins. There are no signs of veneration in the form of relics around the site at present.

Linked to a local tradition of healing and pilgrimage, Sunday Well at Mullaghcloe is associated with Saint Sunday, a lesser-known early Irish saint. The well's structure suggests long-standing devotional use, though specific cures or rituals connected to it are not well documented.
