What is recorded here
St Patrick's Church and well stood in Templepatrick during the medieval period, though the exact spot has vanished from memory. The church likely served as a local worship centre, the burial ground held dead bodies, and the holy well may have drawn visitors seeking water or healing. People may have prayed inside, buried their own, and drank from the well before leaving the area.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as CHURCH; BURIAL GROUND & HOLY WELL: ST PATRICK'S CHURCH & ST PATRICK'S WELL (unlocated). Recorded period: MEDIEVAL; UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
