This one in Fedamore, a small rural parish in County Limerick, is remembered mainly by its absence. Once dedicated to St. John the Baptist, the holy well here had, by the middle of the twentieth century, been so thoroughly absorbed into the practical infrastructure of the locality that neither the well itself nor any living tradition attached to it could be found. A water pump had been installed over the spring, drawing the water up into everyday use, and whatever pattern days or devotional practices had once gathered people around it had quietly stopped.

Holy wells, which are natural springs or water sources associated with a particular saint and often visited on a patron's feast day for prayer or cure, were once a common feature of the Irish countryside. Many survived into the modern era, their small cairns of offerings and knotted cloth still renewed each year. This one did not fare so well. Writing in 1943, O'Kelly noted that a pump had been erected over the well and that devotion had already ceased. By 1955, the folklorist Caoimhín Ó Danachair was more definitive still, recording that the well had effectively disappeared, its spring apparently commandeered entirely by the pump, and that no surviving tradition remained among local people. Ó Danachair photographed the site in 1954, and that image, held by the National Folklore Collection at UCD, is now accessible through the Dúchas archive at duchas.ie, offering a rare visual record of a place in the final stages of forgetting.

Fedamore village sits south of Limerick city, and the well's precise location within the parish is not easily pinned down from what survives in the record. Anyone curious enough to visit would be searching for something that no longer announces itself. The pump, if it still exists, would be the only physical marker of what was once a site of local religious significance. The Dúchas photograph is arguably the more rewarding destination, giving a clearer sense of what was there and what was already, even in 1954, slipping away.
