What is recorded here

Within the floodplain of Lough Adoona. Indicated on the 1838 and 1922 editions of the OS 6-inch map but named ‘Patricks Well’, in Roman script, only on the 1838 edition. On inspection in September 1982 and March 1992, this area was flooded and no visible trace of the well was visible. Another well, also named ‘Patricks Well’ (GA112-048----), lies c. 80m to the E.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
