What is recorded here

According to information obtained from the landowner in 1967 'a pool in the corner of his field beside the old laneway was known as St. Patrick's well'. (SMR file) Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 4 July 2012

Linked to St. Patrick, the well is traditionally associated with the saint’s legendary 5th-century mission in Ireland, and such sites are often connected to healing or purification rituals in local folklore. Holy wells dedicated to St. Patrick were commonly visited for blessings, especially on Saint Patrick’s Day.
