ALL THAT I KNOW IS THAT IT IS NOT CROW’S WELL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Nore River valley plays a pivotal role in the life of Kilkenny City, Bennettsbridge and much of the surrounding county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This well is located on the Canal Walk on the bank of the River Nore and describing it is a bit complicated. In August 2018 a local told me that this was a holy well dedicated to St Bridget (that could apply to most of the wells in Ireland) but on the following day another person told me that it was nothing more than a natural spring or well and to be honest I was more inclined to believe the second person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I visited the area again in July 2021 and September 2022. In 2018 a dog-walker told me that it is known as “Crow’s Well” but at the time I believed that she may have been incorrect as my understanding is that Crow’s Well Lock is at Fennessey’s Mill. However, I was unable to locate a well at Fennessy’s Mill [Archersgrove Mill] when I visited in September 2022. However, I recently discovered that Crow’s well was identified as Spa Well on some old maps and that the well, at Fennessey’s Mill, is so overgrown with briars and bushes that it is almost impossible to locate it. However, information provided by the dog-walker was much more useful than that provided by others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the the local council Crow’s Well Canal Lock is at Archersgrove<\/p>\n\n\n\n
