What is recorded here

Holy well recorded in 1936 as 'There is another Tobar Patrick on the Abbey Island, in the suburbs of Ballyshannon. No stations are made there now. It is said that long ago pious people used first to make the Lough Derg pilgrimage, then the stations at St. Patrick's Well (DG107-043----), and finish up at Tobar Patrick ' (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 144).

Toberpatrick on Abbey Island is associated with Saint Patrick and was once a site of pilgrimage, linked to the broader tradition of holy wells connected to the patron saint of Ireland. The well was part of a devotional route that included Lough Derg, reflecting medieval practices of penance and pilgrimage in the region.
