In the days when Kinsale was a great maritime centre it was an important port of call for fresh water. It was known in Irish as Fan na dTubraid, the Slope of the Springs/Wells and there were many public and private wells in the town. Some were the property of the rich who had them guarded to prevent any contamination, such as The Guard Well across the street, but others were left unattended and unprotected to be used by the poor, as was in the case of this Paupers' Well which still remains on this site.
