Marked on the 1900 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map, this modest well sits within a network of ritual sites that hints at the area’s deep spiritual significance. Just 39 metres to the northeast, another possible holy well can be found, whilst 860 metres to the southwest stands an ancient bullaun stone, creating a sacred geography that has endured through generations.

The well itself is a simple but carefully constructed feature, surrounded by stone and fitted with what appears to be a stone pipe exiting from its western face. Though no votive offerings are visible today, local tradition maintains its holy status. The folklorist Ó Muirgheasa documented these wells in 1936, noting that whilst they remain nameless, they sit near the old burial grounds of Cill na Manach and Roilig na Manach in the townland of Kilgoley, possibly derived from Cill Gabhlaigh. According to his account, the two wells, positioned about 40 yards apart along the road from Cashel to Meenacroise, were regarded as holy by locals who attributed healing powers to their waters.

These unassuming springs represent the kind of vernacular sacred sites that pepper the Irish countryside; places where official ecclesiastical history meets folk belief and practice. Though they may lack the grandeur of more famous pilgrimage sites, their persistence in local memory and their careful documentation by scholars like Ó Muirgheasa and Caimin O’Brien ensure that these humble wells remain part of Ireland’s rich tapestry of ritual landscapes.
