What is recorded here

Holy well in Glassaneeran Lower, County Antrim, where clean water still rises from the earth. People may have drunk from it, washed wounds or left small gifts across centuries, while the land kept its quiet shape. St Patrick’s name gives the place light, but the water belongs to everyone who has knelt beside it.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: ST. PATRICK'S WELL. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Linked to St. Patrick, the well is traditionally associated with healing and protection, with pilgrims visiting to seek cures for various ailments, particularly skin conditions. The site reflects the widespread veneration of St. Patrick in early Christian Ireland, often connected to local folklore of miraculous interventions and spiritual cleansing.
