Holy well

What is recorded here

No. That is an admission the assistant needs to hear.
John O'Donavan, writing c. 1836, mentions Tobar Padraig in the townland of Aghamore (O'Flanagan 1929, 130), and Faughnan (1943) says it is not venerated anymore and is not known generally in the parish. It remains unlocated. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 12 January, 2016
Linked to St. Patrick, the well (Tobar Padraig) was historically significant but is no longer venerated and has been largely forgotten in the local area. Such wells were often associated with healing and pilgrimage in early Christian Ireland.
