No stonework, no basin, no marker. The well at Killegar survives now only in the memory of a memory.

When Ordnance Survey officers were gathering local knowledge for their letters in the early nineteenth century, people living near the Scalp could still recall that patterns had once been held at the well. A pattern, from the Irish "patrun" meaning patron, was a festive gathering held on a saint's feast day, typically involving prayers at a sacred site followed by communal celebration. The OS Letters compiled by O'Flanagan in 1928 record both this folk memory and the presence of an ancient thorn tree growing over the well. Thorn trees, particularly hawthorns, were commonly associated with holy wells across Ireland, regarded as sacred or protective presences at such sites. By the time that record was set down, the tradition had already faded. Today, there are no visible remains of the well itself.
