- LI015-039 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Situated immediately E of a kink in a stream, in poorly drained pasture. Indicated on the 1927 OS 6-inch map as 'Kenny's Well'. Described by Ó Danachair (1955) as 'a clear spring well about three feet in diameter…the water cured many ailments. Locally called 'Saint Kenny's Well', reputed to be St Cainneach of Kilkenny. There is a legend that the well moved when an infant was washed in it'. The site is now covered by overgrowth but there appears to be a circle or square of rocks around the spring (Wth c 0.5m). The well no longer seems to be in holy use. See attached photos taken in 1954 by Caoimhín Ó Danachair, courtesy of and © National Folklore Collection, UCD.
