What is recorded here

According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 56 (164)), ' … 'Sunday Well' … was formerly frequented and … a patron was held at certain periods.' In 1972, the well, in level, poorly drained pasture, was found to be covered with a concrete cap housing an iron cover and enclosed by iron railings (SMR file).

Linked to an unspecified saint or local tradition, the well was historically visited for its perceived curative or spiritual properties, with a patron saint celebrated at certain times. The site reflects a common pattern of early Christian holy wells in Ireland, often associated with healing and seasonal rituals.
