  Description

  Some 50m N of a CBG (GA032-006----). Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as 'St. Brendan's Grave and Well'. On inspection in July 1984, two holy wells were recorded here: (a, GA032-043----) a natural spring, dried up at the time of visit, enclosed by a circular drystone wall (D 1.15m) with an entrance at W, and (b, GA032-043001-) 1m to S, another dried-up spring well enclosed by a square mortared wall (L/Wth 2.5m) with an entrance at SE. A stone-lined overflow channel ran beneath the entrance. The 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1931) depicted a circular pathway surrounding the wells, no visible surface of it trace survived. Some 7m to the W, a 17/18th-C inscribed limestone slab (GA032-043002-), depicting a crucifixion, reputedly marked the grave of St Brendan. The wells and slab subsequently underwent some works up by a local group.
