Linked to St. Patrick, the well is traditionally associated with healing and protection, with pilgrims historically visiting to seek cures for ailments and to collect water for blessings. The semi-circular stone construction suggests a long-standing devotional practice, though specific folklore connected to Killour remains poorly documented.
