What is recorded here

Ritual site is a ritual site (holy or saint's stone) in Barnabrack, County Sligo, Ireland. Tradition claims a stone bearing St. Feichin's knee tracks marked the well, though survey workers never found it. The story ties Feichin to Barnabrack, but the stone itself remains unproven.

At a holy well (SL019-141001-). According to tradition, a stone bearing the track of St. Feichin's knees is said to have been located at the well (ITA Survey 1942-4). It was not located. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 4 September 2014

Linked to St. Feichín, an early Irish monk and founder of Fore Abbey, the stone is traditionally believed to bear the imprints of his knees from prayer. The site reflects a broader tradition of holy wells associated with saints and their physical relics or traces, often used for pilgrimage and healing rituals.
