What is recorded here
On a NW-facing slope of the Slieveardagh Hills with higher ground to the S and E and good views of lower ground to the NW and W. A stream runs past the well to the N, just outside the graveyard wall. The poorly preserved remains of a natural spring well which is dedicated to St Patrick. A stile in the graveyard (TS048-042004-) wall SW of the church (TS048-042001-) provides access to the well which now consists of a pool of water in the N face of high ground, with an agricultural laneway running past immediately to the N.
