Holy well

What is recorded here

Some 180m S of St Imor's Chapel (GA085-056001-). An underground circular stone-lined well (D c. 1.2m) with three steps at N leading down to the water level. A roughly built modern wall with a gap at N has been built up around the well and it is covered over with a concrete roof. The gap is blocked by a wooden gate. Currently used for domestic purposes, a pump house has been built beside it. (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 467) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA085-058
