| Killina - Bullaun Stone |
The well is now marked as St. Anthony's Well, but the 1830s OS maps show a different name. The site is very well kept and has good access, which was a pleasant surprise, because so often you have to fight your way through brambles and thorn trees to reach holy wells.
The well house is very megalithic-looking with huge boulders built into its structure. On the day of my visit the well was dry.
The enclosure around the well has a number of large boulders with modern inscriptions such as Famine, The Normans, Plantation and Penal Times - someone around here wants to remember all the bad things!
Also in the enclosure there is a mass rock and a bullaun stone (see subsite).
