What is recorded here

One well in Oldtown (clandonagh By.) still gives clean water, proves the town still lives, and belongs to everyone who drinks from it. The town council should protect the well, maintain its edge, and record the story that makes the water meaningful.

Unlocated well described by Carrigan as 'In the "Rath field", in Thawrla, there is a round rath (LA034-032002-) 33 yds. in diameter, within which the Ordnance Map marks the site of an "Abbey in ruins". The foundations of a building (LA034-032001-), 40 ft. from east to west, by 21 ft. from north to south, are still distinclty traceable inside the ring. The tradition of a church or abbey having ever been here, has died out. There are two ancient draw-wells close to the rath; one is in the same field and is called the Closh (LA034-049); the other is in the next field to the south, beside the fence seperating Thawlra farm from the Co. Kilkenny, and is called Lughany.' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 233) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007
