What is recorded here
Patrickswell holds a hidden room where the land itself draws the wall. The enclosure sits beside a drainage ditch and near Kilcullane, while a church, graveyard, penitential station and holy well wait farther south. It keeps its shape in grass and shadow, not on old maps, as if telling people who stop listening that memory still breathes beneath the pasture.
In improved pasture, to the immediate N of a drainage ditch and 75m W of a townland boundary with Kilcullane. An archaeological complex consisting of a church, graveyard, penitential station and a holy well (LI032-063001-/02-/03-/04-) are located 240m to SW. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument identified by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 213: AP 5/2012) as a pennanular-shaped cropmark which is open from E-SE-SSE. Monument is visible as a suboval-shaped cropmark (55m N-S; 44m E-W) on OSi orthoimage taken 2005-2012, on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 07/05/2006 and 20/09/2020.
