Lantern slide of Holywell Church, Belcoo, Co. Fermanagh. Originally titled 'Holywell Church Co. Fermanagh. Door Jamb and West Window.' 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. Present is the slide is a small, square-headed window which is located at the west gabel. Located high up, it is loophole in type and has a square-headed interior splay with stepped sill and lintel. Also pictured is the remains of a doorway. Only the jamb survives and there are no traces of other fallen stones. It would be hard to tell what shape the arch of the door would take, given these missing stones.
