St. Declan's Holy Well and church

Situated in Dysert townland this holy well is believed to have been the site of a hermitage for St. Declan. There are no visible remains of any such fifth century archaeology at the site. The holy well structure is believed to have been built after 1798 and it is a key site in the commemoration of St. Declan. The church in ruins is probably the first medieval parish church in Ardmore - representing a parochial church organisation structure while the graveyard with the cathedral and round tower were part of a site with monastic origins.
