St Bridget's Well is a multiperiod ecclesiastical site located in the Glentegilp townland near Newry and Mourne in County Down, Northern Ireland. The site comprises two stone crosses, a church structure, associated graveyards, and a holy well dedicated to Saint Bridget, representing continuity of religious use from early Christian times through the medieval period and into later centuries. The presence of a holy well suggests early Christian settlement, whilst the stone crosses and church structures indicate sustained ecclesiastical activity during the medieval period. The site exemplifies the characteristic clustering of religious monuments typical of early Christian and medieval Irish monastic or parochial sites, where holy wells, crosses, and burial grounds functioned together as focal points of spiritual life and community practice.
