Will do! Fantastic! Be great to meet up (we're staying at Readymony Cove again so will be just up the road!)
The more I see of these holy wells, particularly the un-christianised ones, the more I'm convinced of their antiquity. How could the ancients not have revered such a pure source of life-giving water..? Especially so close to the salty sea! I reckon holy/sacred wells are a justified addition to the site.
I've been in contact with the delightful Katy Jordan, who used to run the sadly defunct "Holy Wells Web" - http://www.bath.ac.uk/~liskmj/holywell.htm (still links to the wells & spas forum archive) - I've not spoken since we got back from Orkney, but will certainly do so...
I realy hope we can find the cave this time - your pics have urged me on! I could have sworn I'd found it last time, but it looked rather uninspinring in retrospect... Now I know what I'm looking for, I think it'll be unmissable!
