Description
Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as ‘Holy Well’. It is known locally as St. Anne’s well, and is located in a slight fold and towards the bottom of a steep W-facing slope of the Slaney valley with the N-S river c. 120m to the W. The source is c. 10m to the E but the well is a natural rock-pool (diam. c. 4m) beneath rock outcrop at S (H 1.5m). There is a large ivy-covered blackthorn tree growing on the S side, but there is no evidence of veneration at the well and no record of it.
