Medieval holy well.


The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 map of 1868 records 'Site of Chapel & Burial Ground' without a marker denoting the location; the wording is centred at SC20867093. The same survey shows a well in the next field, lying a little to the north of the hedge, and north-west of the keeill and burial ground.


The Manx Archaeological Survey (1968) notes that the well had long been a place of resort for the 'cure' of various ills. It had acquired a number of popular names, most commonly Chibbyr Beltain, but also the Rag Well and the Fairy Well. It now forms a wet patch at the edge of the field.
