St. Patrick's Well, Parkaneety Graveyard, Killyglinne is an uncertain ecclesiastical site in County Down comprising a church, graveyard, and holy well. The site has historical associations with early Christian settlement in the region, though the precise dating and founding circumstances remain unclear from the available archaeological record. The well itself reflects the tradition of saint-associated water sources common throughout medieval and early modern Ireland, where such sites served both spiritual and practical functions for local communities. The monument's designation as uncertain reflects the limited documentary evidence and archaeological investigation currently available to establish its definitive chronology and institutional affiliations.
