• GA099-123 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In flat low-lying grassland. This natural spring well (D 0.65m) is dedicated to St Patrick. It is enclosed by a low rectangular drystone wall (1.95m E-W; 1.3m N-S; H 0.6m). On inspection it was overgrown by grass and there was no indication that it was still in use as a holy well. The OS Letters state that a pattern was held here on the first Sunday in August, Garland Sunday (O’Flanagan 1927, Vol. 2, 113). However, details from The Schools’ Collection (https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4583336/4580677/4587536 last accessed 29 March 2023) indicate that the pattern was held on the last Sunday of August, with stations taking place three Fridays before it.
