## Designated sites (National Parks and Wildlife Service)

- Proposed Natural Heritage Area: Glenealy Woods, site code 001756

## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- WI024-010: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI024-010----. Situated on W-facing slope in a mature forestry plantation. Holy well in the parish of Glenealy that was annotated 'Lady's Well' on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map. On this map a farmhouse now gone was shown 40m to the SSE of 'Lady's Well'. The holy well lies immediately S of the townland boundary with Aghowle Upper and is 950m SW of the summit of Carrick Mountain. A bullaun stone (WI024-018----) lies 750m to WNW. In 1839 'Lady's Well' was described by O'Curry in the OS Letters as having a great Patron [Pattern] day on the 15th of August, which had been held annually until it ceased in the year 1798 (O'Flanagan 1928, 119; Price 1967, 438; Ronan 1928, 138). According to Lynch (1994, 640) the water was used as a cure for colds, and was never used for household purposes and there was a hawthorn bush at the well. The holy well has been recently uncovered by local people and an annual pilgrimage is now held at the site (pers. comm. Rosaleen Durkin). An information plaque and signage has also been erected by the local group. Photographs supplied courtesy of Rosaleen Durkin. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 8 May 2020

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
