Visit Notes

Sunday, 8th April 2007

I decided to stop here to see if I could find the nearby bullaun stone mentioned in the Wicklow Inventory. I couldn't.

The well is in a bad state. At one time it would have been really nice. The well house looks as if it had drystone built walls supporting stone lintels. Some of the walling remains and the lintels are now in the well pool.

The views are simply stunning over a small stream valley and beyond that the reservoir.
