Kilpatrick Well — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Situated on wet grass-land. Lough Owel 500m to SW. Ringfort (WM011-072----) 240m to SW. Ringfort (WM011-073---) 165m to NE. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map to the S of a complex of buildings and annotated ‘Kilpatrick Well’. A pump house now stands at this location. No votive offerings visible around the spring and no indication now that it was venerated as a holy well. Only the name indicates that this was possibly the site of a holy well dedicated to St. Patrick. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 24 August 2017

Linked to Saint Patrick, the well is traditionally associated with healing and protection, with pilgrims visiting to seek cures for various ailments. The site's proximity to early medieval ringforts suggests a long history of spiritual and communal significance in the local landscape.
