According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 101 (42)), 'there is a holy well called after St. Coleman which is visited by Pilgrims on St. Peter's day [June 29th]. Over it grow several old trees and bushes …'. Dowling (1935-45), says a pattern was held there annually, up to the 1880's, while Jackson (1979-80, 149) notes the tradition that the well had the power to cure warts. On the lower, moderately steep, SW-facing slope of the Hill of Allen (OD 670 feet) and c. 70m down slope, to the SE, of a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (KD018-014----). The area is now completely overgrown with whitethorn and briar and the well was not located. It is not recorded on the latest ed. (1910) of the OS 6-inch map which suggests that it may no longer have been visible at ground level then.
