Well in Miskaun Glebe

Well

What is recorded here

St Patrick's holy well in Miskaun Glebe, County Leitrim, occupies a natural amphitheatre where a rag-tree shadows the circular water and a dead rectangular chamber lies forgotten to the east. The place suggests older hands digging before the sacred name arrived, yet the living well still gives water beneath its branches.
St Patrick's holy well is situated in a natural amphitheatre (LE021-006002-) defined by an earthen bank planted with deciduous trees on the perimeter W-N-E, which is on the NE bank of a N-S stream. The circular holy well (LE021-006001-) is under the rag-tree (LE021-006003-), but a defunct rectangular well (dims 1.1m x 0.9m) is E of the present well.
