On S bank of a the Nuenna river which lies 15m to the NE, on the flat, very wet, valley floor. Tubbrid church (KK013-03201-) lies c. 160m to the E. According to the OS Letters (1839), 'There is a fine spring well a little to the south west of the ruin [church], which the people call Tubber Patrick or Patrick's Well, but hold it in no veneration for sanctitiy. This well was probably the Briotan's Well which gave name to the Parish, but that name, which is a very un-Irish one, in the lapse of ages is very like to have been forgotten and the well callled by its present more popular one' (O'Flanagan ed. 1930, vol. 1, 171 (56)). Three small spring appear to emerge at this point, though some perhaps resulting from drainage works. There is no evidence of veneration.
