What is recorded here

Situated on wet grass-land. Lough Owel 500m to SW. Ringfort (WM011-072----) 240m to SW. Ringfort (WM011-073---) 165m to NE. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map to the S of a complex of buildings and annotated ‘Kilpatrick Well’. A pump house now stands at this location. No votive offerings visible around the spring and no indication now that it was venerated as a holy well. Only the name indicates that this was possibly the site of a holy well dedicated to St. Patrick. Compiled by: Frank Coyne and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 24 August 2017
