Recorded monuments

• GA087-088 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In gently undulating grassland. An underground spring well enclosed by an oval mortared well-chamber (L 1m, Wth 0.6m), capped by a large displaced flagstone. Two steps lead down to the water at N. According to local information, the well was used for medicinal and domestic purposes up to 20 years ago. The flagstone, which was originally lying flat, was deliberately moved to yield easier access. The site of 'St. Patrick's Stone' (GA087-186----) lies 500m to SSE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). Date of upload: 05 August 2010
