  Description

  Holy well described by Ó Danachair as following; 'Lady's Well on 1840 map. The well is now enclosed in a concrete tank, overflowing into a basin. Two boulders, said to bear the marks of Our Lady's hands, are shown as the former site of the well. "This well is called Lady Well. It is said to possess healing virtues. There is a pattern held here on the 15th August at which people assemble from all parts". OSNB. The pattern was discontinued about 1880, but the 15th of August is still a day. of devotion, and the well is decorated with statues, flowers and lighted candles. The water cures sore eyes. Rounds are also made at other times. Legends: The well moved across the river when profaned by washing clothes in it; it was brought back by the prayers of a holy priest.

  Archaeological testing by Frank Coyne (12E0304) revealed this feature to be a 19th century paddock and not archaeological in nature (Coyne 2012).

• LI030-131 Excavation - miscellaneous
  Description

  In pasture, 30m NE of a millrace associated with the saw mill at Caherass House, which lies 700m to NW and 100m NE of the River Maigue which also marks a townland boundary with Croom. Not depicted on OSI historic maps. Identified by Celie O’Rahilly, Limerick County Archaeologist as a possible enclosure which was described as: ‘A very faint trace of a circular area (approx. diam. 22m) which is defined more by a central hollow than a definite raised bank’. During a geophysical survey carried out in advance of the Adare Bypass, only traces of ridge-and-furrow cultivation and possible small iron objects were revealed. The presence of the cultivation features and a shallow, narrow drain were confirmed on further investigation (Licence No. 97E0405), however no diagnostic material was recovered from any of the cuttings. This site has been fully investigated and now lies under the route of the Adare Bypass, as can be seen on Google Earth orthoimages dated 28/06/2018.
