What is recorded here

St Connell's Well Cairn stands in County Donegal, Ireland, where a drystone oval spring presses beneath a long ridge of stone. The water may have sustained travellers, herders or worshippers before the well received a saint's name.

'St. Connell's Well' (DG096-010001-) is located at the SW corner of a cairn (DG096-010002-) 7.8m x 3.6m. The well consists of a drystone lined oval spring. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.'
