For the general study of Holy Wells, the following are recommended:
(1) Sacred Waters by Janet & Colin Bord (London 1985); (2) Celtic Saints in their Landscape by Elizabeth Rees (Gloucestershire 2001); (3) In Search of Ireland's Holy Wells by Elizabeth Healy (Dublin, 2001); (4) The Rites of Brigid Goddess and Saint by Seán Ó Duinn (Dublin, 2005); (5) Saints & their Cults in the Atlantic World edited by Margaret Cormack (University of South Carolina Press, 2007).
For useful material on Co. Clare Holy Wells see The Holy Wells of Kilmacduane Parish by Edmund Lenihan in THE OTHER CLARE vol 28 (2004) and similar surveys by the same author in other vols. Also, Holy Wells & Sacred Trees by Michael Mac Mahon in Clare Association(Dublin) Yearbook 2013.
