The National Monuments Service's description
According to MacDonagh (1936, 193), there was a holy well known as 'Tubber-Padraig' in Rathnakelliga townland at which 'stations' were performed during penal times. The exact location of this well is not known.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
