What is recorded here

At the S edge of the Lough Girroga basin. The well is circular (diam. 1.25m) and open to the W with four steps leading to the water, two of which are rock-cut. The well is within a rectangular enclosure (dims. 30m E-W; 28m N-S) with mature trees. A path leads to the well along the W side of the enclosure past four statues under their own canopies. It was originally dedicated to Iníne Baoith, and was resorted to for the cure of headaches. (Lenihan 1994, 44-5) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 May 2016
