What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as 'St Patrick's Well', and situated on a gentle SE-facing slope. There is no visible evidence of a well, but a grass and moss-covered penitential cairn (RO029-044002-) (dims 5m x 4m; H 0.6m) and a large beech tree are at the location. A modern well is c. 30m to the N, and rath (RO029-045----) is c. 50m to the SE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
