St. Patrick’s Well

This well is around to the north side of the hill opposite the village of Cloghan. It is called a St. Patrick’s well, but it has a Bridget’s cross and statutes and dedications to her.
I would have to speculate that this was originally and Bridget’s well that was taken over and rededicated to St. Patrick.
