The National Monuments Service's description
John O'Donovan writing in the 1830s (O'Flanagan, 1931, vol. 1, 29-30) says that there was a church and graveyard at Brideswell. Although the church had been removed the site was well known at the time and it was reported that bones had been found there. This must be in the vicinity of the well (RO048-108001-), but there is no evidence of either feature there now.
