Branigan notes that it is believed “that the original site was closer to the church but it was diverted to this location in the eighteenth century. A broken pump stands on the site of the well, behind which is a […] alcove with two marble plaques bearing the following inscriptions:
[…] said whoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give them shall never thirst again. John 4, 14.
[…] shall lead them unto living fountains of water and God shall wipe away all the tears of their eyes. Apocalypse 7, 17”
(Branigan 2012: 70).
