3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
From an account collected by William Canning in 1939: "There is a cement path, with steps, leading down to the well with a wall three and a half feet high on each side of the path. Along the bottom of the wall small palm trees and beautiful flowers are sown."
The modern appearance of the well appears largely unchanged, and it remains well-maintained, the walls are white-washed with bright blue accents, with gold lettering above the well dedicating it to "Our Queen, Our Mother".
4 Cure
From Canning's record in 1939: "sores and other diseases" were believed to be cured at this well.

The Patron's Day is 15 August, the feast day dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. However, Mr. Dempsey writes in his account that celebrations were held here on 8 September, a feast day dedicated to St. Mary's birth.
8 Stories
From Canning's 1939 record, we're told that the well was maintained by an older woman who lived in Tullow at that time. It is unclear who may be maintaining the well currently.

3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
Branigan notes that “St Mary’s Well is located within the grounds of the late medieval graveyard of Balscadden … and of Tobertown, adjacent to Balscadden National School. The overall structure is teardrop shaped, and is constructed of stone and mortar with four [steps] leading down from ground level to the water, which is perfectly stagnant. There is also [a] crack up both sides of the structure. Up until recently the well frequently flooded the [area] until remedial works were carried out to pipe surplus water away…In previous years a hawthorn overhung the well and was used as a rag tree, but this is no longer present” (Branigan 2012: 58).
