What is recorded here

In pasture, on SE-facing slope, c. 70m SSW of early ecclesiastical enclosure (13885). Two wells indicated side by side on 1842 OS 6-inch map but only one survives. Well and surrounding area overgrown and wet; low earthen bank defines N and E sides (L 1.5m). No longer in holy use. Dedicated, according to Bowman (1934, 617), to St Baoithin where 'Rounds are still paid on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the month of May. On 22nd May, however, one visit is all that is required.' The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
