It has been catalogued, given a record number, and recognised as something worth preserving in the archaeological register, yet the details that would tell us why, whether it functioned as a holy well with associated patterns and devotions, a domestic or agricultural water source of unusual age, or something stranger still, remain unavailable for the time being.

Wells in the Irish landscape carry a long and layered significance. Many were venerated long before Christianity and were later absorbed into the calendar of local saints, becoming sites of pattern days, where communities gathered on a feast day to pray, walk a prescribed circuit known as a round, and sometimes leave offerings. Others were purely practical, marking the difference between a viable settlement and an uninhabitable one. The townland name Park, derived from the Irish word for a field or enclosed pasture, gives little away about what drew someone, at some point, to record this particular well as archaeologically significant rather than simply incidental.
