What is recorded here

Ó Danachair (1955, 209) recorded the following details about St Broney's Well; ‘Close to the ruin (LI039-012001-) called Kilbroney. The well is now dry and the stone work collapsing. Only a few old people have heard that it is a holy well. No tradition of devotions'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 21 May 2019
St Broney's Well is associated with a local saint, possibly St Broney, whose name suggests a Christian heritage linked to early Irish monastic tradition. The well, once a site of pilgrimage, was believed to have healing properties, though specific cures or rituals connected to it are not well documented.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
