Thats great Pete :) .. For your information the townload I am in is Mullaghboy, not too far from Newtowngore or Carrigallen. Ive got the Discovery series map 27A which includes my house but it doesn't mention any wells in the area. The land registry map however does mention the well in its exact location. If you could check your books for any reference to wells in this area whether holy or not it would be fantastic. Infact any reference to the townland would very interesting :) Thanks for the help, Andy On Tue, 2006-01-03 at 00:51, [log in to unmask] wrote: > Andy at [log in to unmask] writes: > > << how I might find some more information about it I'd be very grateful > indeed. >> > > Andy, > > In addition to the www.slaine.ie website, the Archaeological Inventory of > County Leitrim lists 24 Holy Wells, and the Ordnance Survey letters of 1836 > mentions various wells - Holy and "once-Holy" - in various parishes throughout the > county.
