What is recorded here

Sundays Well is a stone-built holy well on a south-facing scrub slope in County Cork, marked as Lady's Well on an 1842 map. Its roof bears a cross-inscribed lintel and a crucifixion slab, while visitors have cut small crosses into the figure above. The well remains in occasional use, a quiet place where water, stone and repeated gesture still mark time.
