`Connla’s well is the source of the River #Boyne, which is now known as Trinity Well. #Boann went there seeking knowledge against the will of her husband, Nechtan, who owned the well. The waters rose and carried her out to sea, where in some versions she was drowned, but in others survived although maimed.`
`The other name for the #Boyne is Sruth Segsa, “river of Segáis,” a name given to #Bóand herself in the #Otherworld. If the well were in the possession of Bóand from the start, as this implies, rather than of her husband #Nechtan, the likelihood that her drowning was not punishment but creation is heightened.`
