Description
Ó Danachair (1955, 207) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'St Francis Well on 1840 map. Close to Moor Abbey (TS073-011----). There are no devotions now, but visits were made within living memory. Rags were left on the bushes as offerings. The water cured sore eyes. The well formerly visited is on the west side of the road; it is usually dry'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 03 July 2019
