What is recorded here

In grassland with church (TS055-041001-) and graveyard (TS055-041002-) located 60m to SE. No surface remains visible of well described by O'Donovan as a holy well named after the Virgin St Sinech, the patroness of Cruachan Moy-Owney but no stations have been performed at it these thirty years (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 154). Single beech tree on top of low rise of ground in grassland to NW of church and graveyard may mark the site of this holy well. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

Linked to St Sinech (also known as St Sinnet), the patroness of Cruach, the well was traditionally associated with healing and fertility. Local folklore suggests that the well was once more prominent but has since been lost or obscured, with only historical references remaining.
