St Patricks Well

Jackson records the belief that St. Patrick baptised people at this well, but that there was no tradition of cures or patterns associated with it (1979-80, 151). The corbelled structure covering the well may be ornamental in origin and part of the landscaping of Belan Demesne. Date of upload: 15 September 2016

St. Patrick’s Well in Belan is associated with the tradition that St. Patrick himself baptised people at the site. The well is marked by a corbelled structure, though no local traditions of cures or annual patterns (festivals) are recorded.
