Lady's Well
The Lady's Well is a small well situated on Murray's Farm at Arklow Rock, about one mile south of the town of Arklow.
It is situated within about 100 yards of the old ruined church called Chapelhogan (perhaps Sepeal an logain)". A small part of the wall of this church still stands.
People from the Rock district pay great respect to this well. Every year the people from the lower part of Arklow town visit this well on 25th March, say a decade of the Rosary, take some water from well, and drink it. They also take home some water and bring it home to give to people at home to drink. Each one as he takes water ties a 'bit of rag' on a bush out the well.
