The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore. Date of upload/revision: 16th May 2011.

St. Martins Well is associated with St. Martin of Tours, a popular medieval saint linked to animal blessings and protection. The well may have been a site of seasonal rituals or pilgrimages, though specific cures or traditions connected to it are not well documented.
