Situated on the W bank of a stream. No visible surface trace of the 'St. Patrick's Shrine' recorded on the 1930 edition of the OS 6-inch map survives. It has been replaced by a modern shrine consisting of a statue of the saint and a water-filled trough, set in a circular concrete surround, which were erected in 1962.
