St Patrick's Well, Chibbyr Noo Pharick, Chibbyr Sheeant, Chibbyr yn Argid

Archaeology

The site of a possible medieval well, shown as St Patrick's Well on the 1869 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map. Its Manx name is Chibbyr Noo Pharick, but it is also known as Chibbyr Sheeant and Chibbyr yn Argid. It is found half way down a steep west-facing slope and at the east end of a quarried out area measuring 11.0 metres northwest to southeast and 4.0 metres east to west. At the base of the rock face is a rectangular recess 0.5 metres wide and 0.9 metres long containing about 0.2 metres depth of clear water which appears to percolate through the rocks. Water also flows into a small grass bottomed pool to the west of this recess.
