What is recorded here

On the N bank of the River Suir, on flat terrain on the edge of the river, with quite a drop to the river and a sharp rise in ground level immediately to the N. There are no visible remains above ground. The holy well is indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map but on the 1907 ed. it is marked 'site of'. A stream in a deep cut channel, flowing NW-SE, joins the river at roughly the location of the well. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 02 December 2013

St. Bridget’s Well is associated with St. Brigid of Kildare, a prominent early Irish Christian saint linked to healing and fertility. The well was traditionally visited for its supposed curative properties, particularly for ailments of the eyes and childbirth-related issues, and may have pre-Christian roots as a site of water worship.
