be described as geographical, historical and anecdotal. How these water
sources were affected by or influenced history and the development of the

associated history and other incidents in their catchments, illustrations
and diagrams are provided to assist the reader. the rise and fall of the
popularity of wells, holy, chalybeate or otherwise is also presented. A
beautifully illustrated book published by Dublin City Council. 116 Pages
