Our Lady's Well, Eardownes Great, Wexford

Our Lady's Well

Our Lady's Well is situated on the old pilgrimage route to Lady's Island. Dedicated to the Blessed Virgin the well was part of the pilgrimage and a pattern was held here on the 15th August, the feast of the Assumption. The well is surrounded on three sides by white walls with a turnstile on the eastern side. Two stone steps take you down to the well. I was particularly fond of the short but quite charming walk down the old pilgrimage track, with it's two delightful stone stiles. A standing stone is located in the nearby graveyard.
