3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
The well is “located between two lakes within the area now covered by an extension of Dublin Zoo. It was restored for its mineral qualities and its designation as a Holy Well appears to be no more than a Victorian Folly as opposed to historical veneration. It no longer exists." (Branigan 2012: 69).
