He gives several examples of people who believed they were cured at the holy well, including a man with a running sore on his leg, three men who suffered from 'the ague', a type of fever, and a sickly child (ibid. 108). On the OS 6-inch map (1839 ed. and 1899-1900 revision) two wells are indicated beside each other, on the later revision the more northerly well is an annotated as a spring with a stream running S from it, while the other is annotated as the holy well. The holy well is no longer visible above ground, though the spring is apparent as a hollow (Digitalglobe satellite imagery, viewed 17 May 2021).
