There are many reasons to visit holy wells, the visitor does not have to expect a religious experience. Holy wells offer an oasis of solitude, vegetation and birdsong which can be appreciated by all.

This talk reflects on the experience of visiting and recording holy wells in County Kilkenny using Open Data and open source platforms. The methodology can be applied to other monument types and geographic areas. While this might sound technical, it starts with simple things like taking pictures with your phone which almost everyone can do. Why not turn your visit and local knowledge into useful data which can be harnessed by local heritage societies and scholars alike?

All are welcome. Free event.
