St Patrick's well (RO034-0800010-) is on a SW-facing slope on the W side of a N-S section of the N 60 Castlerea-Roscommon road and c. 80m W of the church (RO034-080001-). The well has a limestone plaque on the inner face of the NE wall which has an inscription in false relief commemorating Fr. William Hanley who renovated the well in 1687 (Beirne 2000, 290). The inscription reads: Pray for the soul of Fr. William Hanley who caused this monument to be made in ye honour of God and St Patrick of Ireland. Anno Domini IHS 1684.
