Archaeology
editThe 'Blessed Well' or 'St John's Well' was a small holy well surrounded by thorn bushes inside north fence of road 400 yards west of Granagh Catholic church.[3] Construction of the creamery and concrete yard appears to have removed all traces of the holy well and no archaeological features or finds were uncovered in the monitored area.[4]
