Trinity Well

Holy well

What is recorded here

Marked on the 1912 'OS 6-inch' map as 'Trinity Well'. Situated at the bottom of a river edge. When inspected in 1966 by ASI, three of its sides were surrounded by a well house of drystone walling and it had a lintelled roof with a modern concrete pediment and inserted cross to the front of it. It was visited annually on Trinity Sunday (Stubbs 1908, 40). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 23 August 2012
Linked to St. Patrick, the well is traditionally associated with the healing of eye ailments and is visited on Trinitarian feast days. The site's drystone well house reflects long-standing local devotion and early Christian monastic influence in the area.
