What is recorded here

Located on flat poorly drained land with ecclesiastical enclosure (WM036-042004-) 290m to E. No surface remains visible of holy well dedicated to St. Patrick which has been filled in, people used to visit this holy well on St. Patrick's Day as well as visiting the nearby bullaun stone known locally as St. Patrick's Knee Stone (WM036-042003-).

Linked to St. Patrick, the well was a site of pilgrimage where people sought spiritual or physical healing. Though now filled in, historical accounts suggest it was visited for its perceived curative properties, typical of many early Christian holy wells in Ireland.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
