What is recorded here

On S side of road. Spring enclosed by recent surround surmounted by statue of St Patrick. Still venerated, with a variety of devotionalia hung about the surround as well as coins dropped into the water. According to Ó Danachair (1955, 204) devotions performed at the well on 17th March 'when there is a procession and public prayers'. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
Linked to St Patrick, the well is traditionally associated with Christian pilgrimage and healing practices. Devotional items and coins left at the site reflect ongoing veneration and the belief in its spiritual or curative powers.
