What is recorded here

Marked on the 1837 and 1914 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as Lettreen Well in italic lettering on both, and situated on a gentle SW-facing slope of Mullaghcreigha Hill. Circular well (diam. 0.9m) defined by a masonry wall (T 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m; int. H 1m) with an opening (Wth 0.6m) and two steps at NE. It is traditionally associated with St Patrick (Gormley 1989, 62), but there is no evidence of veneration. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Lettreen Well is associated with local traditions of healing, and its circular stone construction suggests a long history of ritual or devotional use. While no specific saint is mentioned in available records, such wells were often linked to early Christian or pre-Christian practices involving water for cure and purification.
