"Ancient and Holy Wells of Dublin"
by Gary Branigan

ISBN: 9781845887537
Publisher: History Press, Ireland

The waters of holy wells are associated with the powers of divination or the curing of illness. Many of these wells are located in areas of great natural beauty, often in groves of trees or hollows in the landscape, while others are hidden in darkness, in tunnels, secret chambers and caves. The aim of this book is to celebrate the existence of these ancient places and to better equip the reader with the knowledge to seek these important wonders out for themselves.

Covering the wider Dublin region, and including reference points and GPS coordinates for each of the sites, this book will become a stepping stone for the reader into an important and often overlooked part of Irish cultural heritage.
