What is recorded here

According to O’Kelly (1985, 142), at Coolaghmore there is, ‘a well in the churchyard [KK030-004003-] field called Tobar an chillín, the little church well, where a pattern is held on the first Sunday in September’.

The holy well at Coolaghmore is associated with a September 1st pattern day, a traditional festival often linked to saintly veneration or local folklore, though the specific saint is not named in the source. Pattern days at holy wells typically involved prayers, processions, and offerings, reflecting a blend of Christian and pre-Christian traditions.
