St. Brigid's Holy Well

St. Brigid's Holy Well submitted by enkidu41 on 24th May 2004. St. Brigid's Holy Well, Liscannor. R 044900 The Burren in Co. Clare has scores of holy wells not all of which have stood the test of time. Some are cased in concrete with modern plastic pipes extruding from the casing whilst others have disappeared under the vegetation. This well is probably the most important exception and is stated as being "one of the three most strongly lasting survivals of Lughnasa". This is a shot down the curved passage to the well proper at the end.

Weatherhill Henge submitted by vieveforward on 22nd Mar 2017. Weatherhill (or Everleigh) henge, on MoD land, is demarcated by posts, painted white at the top, which are there to be clearly visible to tanks both day and night. There is little to see of the henge itself, which is virtually completely ploughed out. I visited the site in April 2015 on a guided tour led by former County Archaeologist, Roy Canham.
