Linked to an unrecorded saint or local tradition, the well at Cappoquin Demesne was associated with a pattern day held on 8 September, a date often linked to the Feast of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in other similar sites. The discontinuation of the pattern suggests a decline in religious or communal observance in the 20th century.
