Linked to Saint Libe (Luibe), a lesser-known early Irish saint, the well may have been associated with healing traditions, particularly for eye ailments, as the name 'Luibe' is sometimes connected with 'lub' (meaning smooth or soft), possibly referencing skin or vision cures. The Gothic script annotation suggests a continued reverence for the site during the 19th century.
