St. Columbkilles Well

Surrounded by corbelled structure, but now neglected and overgrown with weeds. Jackson states the well was filled in in the nineteenth century, so the surround may be more recent. Situated to the NE of the church (No.***) in Moone village (see No.***). Date of upload: 5 September 2016

St. Columbkille's Well is associated with St. Columba (Columbkille), a 6th-century Irish saint known for his missionary work in Scotland and Ireland. Holy wells dedicated to him were often believed to have healing properties, particularly for eye ailments and general protection.
