What is recorded here
Tober Patrick is a holy well in Creeve (roscommon By., Creeve Ed), County Roscommon, Ireland. John O'Donovan recorded the site during the 1837 Ordnance Survey, yet the physical well has vanished from the lakeshore. The name alone survives on maps and in history, marking a lost ritual place rather than a visible spring.
Marked on the 1837 and 1914 eds. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated in a wet hollow which is S of a stream at the bottom of the NE-facing slope of a drumlin. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. Creeve church (RO017-165001-) is c. 120m to the SSW.

Tober Patrick is associated with Saint Patrick and traditionally linked to healing and protection. The well's name and location suggest it was once part of a broader ecclesiastical or pilgrimage landscape connected to early Christian sites in the region.
