St. Columbkilles Well, holy well in County Kildare

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

What is recorded here

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.***).
