St Patrick's holy well is situated in a natural amphitheatre (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earthen bank planted with deciduous trees on the perimeter W-N-E, which is on the NE bank of a N-S stream. The enclosure is described as a 'fort' on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and the perimeter is cut by a road bank at NE. There is a modern well, still in use, but an earlier circular holy well (LE021-006001-) is under the rag-tree (LE021-006003-) to its W, and another defunct rectangular well (LE021-006004-) is E of the present well. The well is approached from the E by a path from the public road.
