Chibbyr Pherick, Ballafreer
Archaeology
Medieval well.
A spring in OS Field no 1395 passes through the boundary wall into a green lane at the grid reference given, at which point it was historically drawn off for water. The lane is a public right of way connecting Trollaby Lane to the NE with the main road between Peel and Douglas to the SW.
The well is traditionally known as Chibbyr Pherick (St Patrick's Well), implying a holy connection with the keeill which lies 470m to the ENE.
