William Scotts Well, holy well in County Kerry

What is recorded here

William Scott's Well: This spring well, locally regarded as a holy well, is located high on the NE slopes of Colly mountain just below the old Waterville-Killorglin road. It is a small natural pool from which a stream issues, and is reputedly named after a man who died at this spot (local information). O'Sullivan and J.
