The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: TUBBER PATRICK. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Linked to Saint Patrick, the well is traditionally associated with healing and pilgrimage, with devotees seeking cures for various ailments, particularly skin conditions. The name "Tubber Patrick" reflects its early Christian heritage and the widespread veneration of Saint Patrick in Ireland.
