St Donagh’s Well
2 Townland, County, GPS
Kilbarrack Upper, Dublin
3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
The well was formerly located in “the green area between Holywell Road and St Donagh’s Road in Kilbarrack…it was a large pool approximately 15ft in diameter and overhung by an ash tree. The well was believed to be the cure for all disorders, particularly on St John’s Eve, when water was drunk and rags were hung on the tree. The well was filled in due to vandalism, and there are no longer any surface remains” (Branigan 2012: 73).

“Although St Donagh did exist it is unclear whether the name of this well is a corruption or not, as it is generally assumed that St Donagh was the local saint who lent his name to the neighbouring Donaghmede, but Donaghmede translates as St Mede’s Church, a totally different saint, so it is likely that the correct translation of the well should have been Church Well or Sunday Well as opposed to St Donagh’s Well” (Branigan 2012: 73).

“St John’s Well has had a very chequered history. It was originally dedicated to St Maighneann, who founded an ecclesiastical settlement in the vicinity called Cill Mhaighneann (Kilmainham). When the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem set up a church and hospital on the site of the present Royal Hospital they rededicated the well to St John the Baptist” (Branigan 2012: 87).
