That much is recorded. What surrounds it, who tended it, which saint's name it carries, and whether it was ever the site of a pattern day, the annual gathering of prayer and ceremony that once gave local wells their social as well as spiritual life, remains undocumented in any publicly available form.

Holy wells are among the most persistent features of the Irish landscape, predating Christianity in many cases and absorbed into it so gradually that the join is often impossible to locate. Clare alone has dozens of them, each with its own tradition of cure, its own patron, its own ritual of circumambulation or cloth-tying. The well at Cratloemoyle sits in that broad company, a named monument without a publicly attached story, its particulars not yet catalogued in accessible detail.
