What is recorded here

Situated on a low rise of ground in undulating countryside. Spring well (TN020-100----) located 90m to W. A disused holy well (TN020-085001-) dedicated to St. Patrick was filled in in the late 1970s and described by a local landowner as a natural spring well with a flagstone surround and a possible bullaun stone. There is no trace of the bullaun stone (FitzPatrick 1985, 112). In 1958 Gleeson wrote that as 'a small boy the writer often was taken to see this site which, in addition to a fine running spring of water, had two adjoining stones on which were pointed out the marks of St. Patrick's knees and of the point of his staff' (Gleeson 1958, 43). It is not clear whether these two marked flagstones are the remains of a bullaun stone as recorded by Fitzpatrick or the remains of some other form of cup-marked stone. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
