Holy well

What is recorded here

Marked 'St. Patrick's Well' on the 1835 and the 1938 'OS 6-inch' maps. Covered over with a public pump when inspected by ASI in 1966. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 24 August 2012
St. Patrick's Well is traditionally associated with the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick, and like many such wells, may have been linked to early Christian pilgrimage and healing practices. The well's name and survival on official maps suggest a long-standing local reverence, though its specific folklore or curative associations are not recorded.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
