Lantern slide of Holywell Church, Belcoo, Co. Fermanagh. Originally labeled as '8' with titled 'Holywell Church Co. Fermanagh. West Gable Exterior.' The site's name derives from a spring well dedicated to St. Patrick that is located close by. This small church is located by the grave yard where there are also bullaun marked stones. Their presence would suggest the site's link to early Christian worship or perhaps earlier pre-Christian rituals. Pictured is the west gable of the church with its small window. Located high up, it's square-headed and of the loophole type. It is evident from the slide that the church is in a state of disrepair.
