Whitehorse Well — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

In low-lying poorly drained pasture, at the base of a rocky ridge. A small pool of water (6m E-W; 4m N-S) incorporated into a narrower linear drain. A stone-lined channel extends for a short distance to W of the pool but was dry at the time of inspection. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).

Linked to Saint Keyban, Whitehorse Well is traditionally associated with healing and protection, with local folklore suggesting that the water was once used to cure ailments and ensure safe travel. The name "Whitehorse" may derive from a legend involving a white horse that appeared at the site, guiding lost travelers or marking sacred ground.
