The name Lady's Well, traditionally associated with Marian veneration at springs across Ireland, suggests a site where the faithful might once have gathered, left offerings, or circled the water in ritual patterns. At Grange, none of that appears to have happened, or if it did, it left no trace at all.

The well appears on both the 1839 and 1940 editions of the six-inch Ordnance Survey map, identified in gothic script on each, the typographic convention used for antiquities and features of historical note. It sits on a north-east facing slope, set into a recess along the northern side of an east-west lane, a modest and sheltered position. By the time it was being documented more formally, it was already a closed well, with a pump-house nearby, suggesting it had a practical rather than ceremonial role in the local landscape. The gap between the name it carries and the use it apparently served is the quiet puzzle at the centre of it.
