Reference

1) W Walter Gill, A Manx Scrapbook, 1929
2) Note:  In relation to Carn Vael (Michael’s Cairn), Gill also states in the same publication, ‘The well near it is Saint Michael’s Well.’  Carn Vael is about 2000m away as the crow flies so some distance away.  It is uncertain if he is referring to a further well dedicated to Michael nearer to the Carn or this one.

Location

The well is now under the Sulby Reservoir.

Access

None.
