Sunday, 3rd October 2004

The OS map marks a bullaun stone and a holy well, so I thought I'd check it out. The well took some identifying and if it wasn't for the lone thorn tree in the field I wouldn't have found it at all. Behind the bush is a pool of water which seems to feed the field below and make it rather soggy.

Next to the well is a concrete block with a heavy lid, which presumably means that the well now supplies water to some of the nearby houses. Next to this concrete lump was a large rock outcrop, but this was so overgrown that I could not tell if it was the bullaun stone or not.
