What is recorded here

Freestanding water well, dated 1816, comprising a round-headed arch with roundly dressed voussoirs set into a section of strap-pointed squared rubble limestone wall. Paved gully to the west side. Located to the west end of Sunday’s Well and to the southeast of Mullingar.
A simple but interesting feature of social significance, adding historic interest to the streetscape to the southeast side of Mullingar. Although recently repointed, this modest structure is constructed using good quality local limestone. The name suggests that this may be a holy well and of archaeological significance. However, there is no obvious associated with an early religious site in the area.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
