• CL016-100 Well
  Description

  At the bottom of a steep N-facing slope, beneath outcropping rock. Named ‘Brian Boru’s Well’ on the 1840 and 1916 eds. of the OS 6-inch maps. Referred to by Westropp (1905, 208) by its locally known name: ‘Boru-well’, which was understood only as meaning ‘red cow’. Listed as a Holy Well in the RMP (1996). A spring well rises from a niche in a ledge at the base of the outcropping rock and feeds a large pond (c. 10m E-W; c. 5m N-S) to its N, off which a stream flows to the NE.
