Visit Notes

Monday, 3rd June 2002

A very well kept site that is still obviously visited by many people. There a metal candle holders inside the well housing and a little shrine with a four legged St Brigit's Cross inside. People seem to have forgotten what a proper candle looks like now and tea-lights seems to be en vogue. Several empty cases lie in the bottom of the well.
