The National Monuments Service's description
The Ordnance Survey Letters (1838-40) record that 'about ¼ a mile S.E. of the church in a hollow on the brink of the cliff and under the very nose of Bray head, they show a well called by some the church well, but by the older people Patricks well' (O'Flanagan 1928, 31). The exact location of this well is not known.
