Lady Well (DU007-015004-) located 220m to SSW. A stream rises E of the well site. No surface remains visible. Site of St Bridget's Well described in 1958 as; 'No tradition about this well survives in the locality' (Ó Danachair 958, 73). Site of dried up well described in 1975 as 'nothing to be seen at all. In small wettish field beside a derelict farmstead and cornmill. Modern drainage ditches have probably lowered the water table, so that former wells have gone dry and disappeared' (Henry A. Wheeler 15/05/1975, SMR File). No longer venerated (Healy 1975, 19). Well backfilled for safety reasons (Skyvova 2005, 52).
