Chibbyr Vael, St Michaels Well
Chibbyr Vael, or St Michael's Well, was located a few metres west of Keeill Vael, Druidale. It is shown on the 1869 1:2500 Ordnance Scale map.
A systematic search for Chibbyr Vael 'St Michael's Well' was made during the 1979-80 Druidale Survey, prior to the area being flooded for a new reservoir. Two spring lines were examined, one circa 25 metres south and the other circa 50 metres south-west of Keeill Vael. Although not certain, the plan of the latter suggested it was the more likely location of the well. It approximated to the position on the Ordnance Survey map, but no dating evidence was recovered from the vicinity. The site was covered by a thin strip of boggy ground and was obviously the site of a spring though neither a spring nor a well existed as a visible feature.
