There are 70 known wells in the county.

An index of Kildare's holy wells is being compiled.

Kildare County Council says there are over 70 known wells in the county, but it suspects there may be many more.

KCC says "We would like to hear from anyone who knows of a well, its history, cures, traditions, pattern days and location."

Any information received will be added to the Kildare Holy Wells database, which will result in a publication and an easily accessible digital map on Heritage Maps.

The Kildare Wells Project is led by Heritage Officer Bridget Loughlin of Kildare County Council.

The project is funded by the Heritage Council under the County Heritage Plan Fund and is in cooperation with the Kildare Library Service and Archaeology Plan.

The online survey is available here and will close on 30th September
