The one at Knockeenduff, in County Kerry, has none of that. It has, in fact, nothing at all. The spring well that once served local people in this stretch of level rough pasture was filled in during land reclamation, leaving no visible trace behind. What makes it worth noting is precisely that absence, and what that absence quietly represents.

Holy wells across Ireland functioned for centuries as focal points of both practical and devotional life, sources of fresh water that accumulated layers of local custom, patron saints, and curative reputation. This one was, by the available account, a working spring used by the community around Knockeenduff. When the land was reclaimed and the well filled in, no monument, marker, or boundary survived to indicate where it had been. The landscape closed over it. What remains is local memory, the kind of knowledge passed between people rather than recorded in stone.
