There was a tradition that there was a church and graveyard on the site but no one remembered having seen any remains of them. The church may have been near the remains of Kilbride ringfort” (French 2012: 35). “O’Donovan recalled that it was customary on that day to swim horses in a part of the nearby River Dee called Log-na-gCapall, the hollow of the horses. The well does not appear on any of the OS maps” (French 2012: 35). 9 Publications French, Noel. 2012. Meath Holy Wells. Trim: Meath Heritage Centre.

Title A name given to the resource Dublin Subject The topic of the resource County Description of Well This includes well name, saint associated with well, location of well, townland, county, etc 1 Name of well and saint This well is known locally as “St Cuddy’s Well,” but Gary Branigan records it as “St. Mochuda’s Well” (Tobar Mhochuda). 2 Townland, County, GPS St. Mochuda’s Well is located in the townland called Burrow, in County Dublin. 3 Physical description of well and its surroundings The well appears to be in a field within view of a lake and a roadway. According to a field visit by Branigan, the well “is located at the end of Marsh Lane, just after a sharp left turn in the road in an area known locally as Chapel Bank.” Furthermore the well is “visible only as a large depression in the bank at the middle of the road, and is filled with stagnant, murky water, drained by a large flexible pipe. The original well, now submerged, is a small spring roughly lined with boulders,” (Branigan, 2012:20). 4 Cure St. Mochuda’s Well is said to cure whooping cough. 5 Pattern day On 1 August, a “large pattern took place.” This date is the same as the pre-Christian festival, Lúghnasadh (Branigan 20). The date is one of the more popular times for pattern days. 8 Stories Locals say that the well possesses “a supernatural white eel.” Additionally, Branigan notes that the name likely came from a “chapel” that existed in the same location in the past (Branigan, 2012:20). 9 Publications Branigan, Gary. 2012.
