What is recorded here

Marked 'St. Patrick's Well' on the 1835 and 1910 'OS 6-inch' maps. According to the OS Letters a station was held here. It is an almost square pool, 1.5m across, surrounded by outcrop and a stone setting. Various local legends and cures associated with it (IFC Schools MSS 933, 128-9) and it was noted that rags, medals and walking sticks were left on a bush alongside, long ago (IFC Schools MSS 665, 175). By 1966 it was no longer visited. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 23 November 2011
