So long ago. How things have changed in just over a hundred years. Photography no longer feels like a 'new' technology. It's been around for a good while now. Keep putting up these wonderful images.

"When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battlement for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, if any man fall from thence." Deuteronomy 22:8. So I say it is a railing.

Niall McAuley Very likely date period
“At some point the well was opened again and by 1910 Grattan Flooded noted the old pilgrimage had been revived and the current wall surrounding the well was erected. The popularity of the pilgrimage is indicated by an add in the Irish Independent September 19th 1910 that noted a car service will to ferry pilgrims from Enniscorthy railway station to the well and back for a fee of 1s. 6d.”
