              <text>According to tradition, the well is situated at the site of an apparition of the Virgin Mary that took place c. 1680. &#13;
&#13;
In 1798, a local landowner named John Lynott built a little stone-vaulted building over the well; an inscription reads: 'This chapel was built in honour of the Blessed Virgin in the year of Our Lord 1798, by John Lynott, of Rosserk.' Beneath this inscription is a large figure of a dove with the words 'Pax' (peace) and 'Amor' (Love). Beneath  this are two other slabs with inscriptions in Latin, bearing the years 1684 and 1810. &#13;
