A dry hollow (diam. 10m) opening out to the NW in pasture. There is no evidence of, or local knowledge of, veneration. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
Linked to St. Patrick, the well is associated with traditional Celtic Christian pilgrimage and healing practices. It may have been visited for general health cures or as part of early summer rituals, common at sites named for the saint.
