Visit Notes

Sunday, 31st March 2002

A single bullaun cut into a very rough piece of stone and now associated with a holy well. A little sign proclaims it to be a Holy Font for curing headaches.

Its presence here does show that the whole site and the well has been sacred for much longer than the christian period.
