What is recorded here

Situated at the foot of a S-facing slope. St Gehan's Well (WA031-014----) is covered by a lintel. Some stones, the last remnants of a penitential cairn (WA031-014001-), have been placed on the lintel and there is an iron ringed-cross nearby. It is known locally that there was a rag-tree at one time, but this has been removed without trace. Compiled by: Michael Moore. Date of upload: 25th August, 2011.

St Gehan's Well is associated with St Gehan (Gobnait), a 6th-century Irish saint known for her healing powers, particularly in curing eye ailments and helping with beekeeping. The site's penitential cairn and positioning suggest it was used for pilgrimage and acts of penance in the early Christian period.
