This one, dedicated to Saint Dallan in the parish of Burnchurch, County Kilkenny, was physically relocated at some point after it was recorded on the first Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1839, where it appears clearly marked as 'St. Dallan's Well'. The well was moved roughly forty metres, and the original stone basin was left behind, sitting quietly beside the fosse, or defensive ditch, of a small square rath, one of the earthen enclosures of early medieval Ireland that still punctuate the Kilkenny countryside. A drain was laid underground to carry water from the old source to the new position, an arrangement that kept the well functional while effectively severing it from its original setting.

The move was carried out by the Flood family, according to the historian William Carrigan, writing in 1905. Carrigan noted that the old basin remained intact at the time of his writing, undamaged despite the displacement. The well had previously been the site of a pattern, the traditional Irish gathering combining religious observance and social festivity held on a saint's feast day, which took place on the first Sunday of August each year until the early nineteenth century. Even that date carried its own quiet disagreement: local tradition held that people were divided over whether the true feast day of Saint Dallan fell on the first of August or the third, a dispute that apparently persisted without resolution for as long as the pattern itself was observed. By the time the pattern had lapsed, the question had become moot. Recent satellite imagery suggests that the scrubby ground around the original well site has since been reclaimed, leaving little visible trace of either the basin or the gathering that once marked it each summer.
