St Loury’s Well, Wellhill, Ballycrum, Limavady, Co Londonderry

Holy well on a hillside above Terrydoo Road with a fine view west over Limavady to Lough Foyle. The well is marked by a tall tree in the centre of an otherwise treeless field. The roots of the tree form part of the modern head and sides of the well which is presently covered by a line of three concrete paving slabs terminating in an older cast concrete cover with curved steel head. On each side of the well are rubble stones highest at the source (800mm) falling to nothing at the end of the slabs. There is no stream from the well .which still has water. Nearby are the ruins of a cottage and barn marked on Ordnance Survey Maps as “Wellhill”.
