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.

Seems to be only a plaque 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.”

Niall McAuley Tweaked location, thanks again.

Origin story for the well collected at Dúchas. The OSI 25" confirms that the well is Toberlauchteen as Gaeilge.

25" map link at GeoHive.Streetview. Per the Streetview, the sign today says Feast Day June 9th.

13 June 1954 was a Sunday. There was something important going on - see the 'Similar Items' in the catalogue.

Congratulation for your beautiful Album..

Ah, in 1954 the 13th would have been a Sunday near to the 9th, hence pattern Sunday.
