What is recorded here
John O'Donovan writing in the 1830s recorded the name of a well - Tober Padraig - in the townland of Lughawnagh (Flanagan 1929, 132), and Faughnan (1943) says it is on the land of Hugh Mc Cordick, but even then it was not remembered beyond its name.

Linked to St. Patrick (Padraig), the well was historically noted as a site of pilgrimage and healing, with such wells often associated in folklore with miraculous cures and protective blessings. By the mid-20th century, the well had fallen into obscurity, though its name and location were preserved in local and scholarly records.
