Swords Tidy Towns are appealing to save St Werburgh s Well in Swords and the provision of right of way in the area.
St Werburgh s Well is located within a copse of trees at the edge of a stream beside Lakeshore Drive in Airside Business Park.
The well was destroyed by persons unknown sometime after 2005, but it was restored by a group of local people who were very committed to its care.
St Werburgh s Church held lands in Swords in the 15th Century and it is believed that this is how a well in quite an isolated location became dedicated to St Werburgh.
