    (continued from previous page)
    efficacious form of devotion at this well. was to make the rounds, both on the eve of St. Patrick's day. and on the feast day itself.
    Pilgrims also leave tokens near the well, such as medals, ribbons, bandages, articles of clothing, crutches, etc.
    For the past few years the priests of the parish have organised a pilgrimage of parishoners to Knockpatrick on St. Patrick's day. The crowd gathers in the afternoon at a spot about 300 yards from the summit of the hill. They march in a procession to the ruined church, and then in a circle round it, singing hymns all the time. They then gather round the well and a priest recites the Rosary.
