No carved stone, no iron railing, no votive rags tied to an overhanging branch. Nothing marks the spot to the passing eye, yet for generations this was a place of deliberate, ritual attention, visited on the 16th and 17th of March each year for the practice known as "paying rounds", a devotional circuit of a sacred site, typically performed walking or kneeling in a prescribed pattern around the well or its associated features.

Two early twentieth-century researchers independently documented this well. Grove White, writing between 1905 and 1925, and Bowman, writing in 1934, both recorded it as an active site of local religious custom tied to those March dates, which fall around the feast of Saint Patrick on the 17th. The well lies roughly 250 metres east of a burial ground, and the proximity of the two sites is not unusual; in Irish tradition, holy wells and graveyards frequently occupy the same sacred landscape, each reinforcing the other's significance over centuries of use. That the well has left no physical impression on the ground today makes the written record all the more quietly remarkable, a place that existed primarily in practice and memory rather than in stone.
