I think that this might be the Well of St. Aodh Mac Bric

According to www.libraryireland.com/HealyEssays/Wells3.php, it's the holy well of Columcille.

Truly magnificent photography. The landscape looks terrific. Composition really is an artform.

There are lots of entries in local websites including "Finnvalley.ie and megalithic Ireland. It appears that the area has been modernised taking away much of its charm and the setting. Great old shot and nice to know the well still attracts pilgrims.

It is marked on the 6" map, and marked (covered) on the 25", would be where Milbourne Avenue meets Griffith Park

It's called St Catherine's Well in this ihwcbc.omeka.net/items/show/541

lafoc2 Apologies. You're quite right. Amended above now.

“In Drumcondra, St Catherine's, a well long covered in, existed on the west side of the pathway that leads from Walsh Road to the footbridge in what's now Griffith Park. Before the park was established this was part of Millbourne Avenue and the well was in the back yard of a cottage there. St Catherine's well may have been a site of veneration as far back as the 13th century.

These wells were said to have curative powers for various ailments, even promoting eternal life, or at the very least a bit of longevity. St Catherine's, we're told, was great for the auld toothache but you had to drink the water from a skull, assuming you had one handy.”
