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 Brighid’s Well
2 Townland, County, GPS
Located in the Rosepark (Balrothery) townland of County Dublin.
3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
The well “is situated on a very poor draining, waterlogged green area within the Rosepark housing estate in the village of Balrothery” (Branigan 2012:47). The original well was destroyed in 2003, but rebuilt partially later. “All that remains now is a closed circular steel grill which looks down into a large concrete shaft full of stagnant, stinking, and litter-strewn water; this is also poorly drained and a constant trickle of water is to be seen running down the road in the adjacent to Clock Choirnéal estate” (Branigan 2012:48).
4 Cure
The well is said to cure disorders of the eyes.
