St. Catherine's Well in the parish of Rathcoole, is located along a field ditch which has been widened and deepened, removing all apparent trace of well. Originally accessed from steps. Dedicated to St. Catherine (Ó Danachair 1958, 82). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 20 April 2023

Dedicated to St. Catherine, a Christian martyr venerated in medieval Europe, the well was likely associated with healing traditions and pilgrimage. The site's original steps and field ditch suggest it was a focal point for local worship or ritual before its physical features were altered.
