What is recorded here

According to Drennan (1965, 55), there was a brewery (KK020-060020-) S of St Mary’s parish church (KK020-060006-) and near it a covered well, known as the Brewery Well. The well supplied the town with water until the 1960s and continued to supply Gowran Castle (ibid.). The precise location of the well is unknown.
