Well in Galesquarter

In undulating countryside. Draw-well in the centre of the courtyard. (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 232). No visible surface remains. Described by Carrigan as 'The castle draw-well is in the centre of the courtyard; it was filled up long ago with loose stones, whioch have been recently removed to a depth of 25 ft.; but the bottom has not been yet reached' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 232). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 17 December 2007
