• WX006-062 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Located in a natural hollow towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope, with a slight hill rising c. 400m to the SE. The holy well known as Toberchríost - Christ's Well - had a pattern on St. John's Eve, the 28th June, until c. 1820, according to John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1933, 13). This is a natural spring and the source of a stream that runs off to the S, but there is no evidence of veneration. Archaeological testing (18E0522) of an extensive area of about 14 ha (c. 35 acres) immediately to the W and SW produced potential archaeological material in five of 23 trenches.
