Tobar Maodhóg / Mogue's Well. This bilingual stone I carved had been sitting in the shed for a few years now. I do voluntary work with the Wicklow Wells group and we do things real slow! We first have to get permission from the National Monuments to put up stones and information plaques, as all ancient wells are protected ' ritual sites' in Ireland. We also seek the land owners permission. Wells are one of the easiest monuments to lose so preserving them, their names and folklore is the aim.
Mogue is an anglicization of Maodhóg which is a contraction of the pet form of Aodhán (Aidan) which is properly written Mo Aodh Óg = My little(young) Hugh. Aodh means Fire. He was also known as St. Aidan.
One of the folklore stories about him says he saw a stag being chased by hounds. He made the stag invisible so it escaped. This is why there is an antler tine sticking up on the stone. The deer association with wells and Saints hints at the older tradition. This well is being brought back to life with the help of Coillte and locals in the Aughrim area. It has a cure for toothache and general ailments.
