The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1945 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as ‘St Patrick’s Well’. It is located on the steep NE-facing slope of Glenade valley. This is a natural rock-pool with no artificial structures or other evidence of veneration.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
