- LI012-090 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Ó Danachair (1955, 213) recorded the following details about this holy well; ‘St Patrick's Well on 1840 map. This is the well which gives its name to Patrickswell village. The well was open formerly, with a great elm tree standing beside it. Formerly much visited, especially on 17th March. The water cured sores, toothache and other pains, also cattle. It was sprinkled on crops and churns. Rags, medals and drinking cups hung on the tree. Devotions ceased about 1890. About this time a pump was erected over the well; this has now been removed. A slab in the wall beside the well has a rough figure of St Patrick and is inscribed "Erected by Thos McNamara and S Breay". It seems to date from about the beginning of the 19th century. Lewis, Topographical Dictionary, ii, 459 "says it has recently been placed" there'. The following folklore was recorded from Lurga National School about Tobar Pádraig; 'Long ago in Patrickswell, there was a Blessed well, which St. Patrick was supposed to have blessed. It is now a pump' (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0526, Page 165; accessible online at www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4922107/4852736/4949342).
