The National Monuments Service's description
According to Murphy (1874-9, 114), 'A well, called St. Patrick's well, can be seen about a furlong [c. 200m] east of the church [Donaghmore KK010-005001-], but it is not now held in any veneration'. There is no well indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map or the 1947 revision in this are. The precise location of this well within Donaghmore townland is unknown.
