Despite being clearly documented on both the first and second editions of the OS 6-inch maps, modern archaeological surveys have been unable to locate any trace of this ritual site. Such disappearances are not uncommon in Ireland’s archaeological record; holy wells can be lost to agricultural improvements, road building, or simply fall out of local memory as communities change over generations.

What remains to hint at the area’s ancient significance is a fragment of a rotary quern, discovered near the well’s supposed location. This stone hand mill, used for grinding grain into flour, speaks to the domestic life that once flourished here. The quern piece now resides in the Rossnowlagh Museum, serving as a tangible link to the everyday activities of past inhabitants. The presence of both a holy well and domestic artefacts in close proximity was typical of Irish rural settlements, where the sacred and mundane aspects of life were closely interwoven.

The site was documented as part of the comprehensive Archaeological Survey of County Donegal, compiled by Brian Lacey and his team in 1983. This ambitious project catalogued field antiquities spanning from the Mesolithic period through to the 17th century, preserving knowledge of sites like Drumawark’s lost holy well for future generations. Though the physical well may be gone, its inclusion in these historical records ensures that this small piece of Donegal’s ritual landscape won’t be entirely forgotten.
