- Narrator. Mr. J Carberry age70 Litterbeg, KilmuckridgeA Holy Well
This is the account of a holy well that is situated on Mr Ned Sinnotts' land of Upton.
Mr. Sinnott is not long in possession of this holding. He is a native of Blackwater and was left this place by an old Uncle a Mr. Mogue Brien. I asked Mr. Sinnott about this holy well / which is marked on the map / but strange to relate he knows nothing of it beyond stating that "it was changed and then became No good"
From another source the narrator above, I have learned that there were several burial urns found in the vicinity and that a gentleman named Mr. Knox - an antiquarian brought them away to the museum.
These urns were found near Mr. Middletons yard- Informant
