What is recorded here
Davagh Phadric stands in Cavancarragh, County Fermanagh, a scheduled holy well where clean water still rises through ancient stone. People may have drank from it, washed wounds or simply sat beside it when trouble weighed heavy. The well does not need a date to be powerful. It is a living marker that this land has always belonged to humans, memory and grace.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: DAVAGH PHADRIC. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Linked to St. Patrick, the well is traditionally associated with healing and pilgrimage, with devotees seeking cures for various ailments by drinking or bathing in its waters. The name "Dágh Phádraic" (Patrick's Well) reflects the widespread veneration of the saint in early Christian Ireland, often connected to sites believed to possess miraculous properties.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
