Cill Mhic Eoin (Eóghain) i.e., Cella filii Eugenii... In the Townland of Kilmacowen is an old Church in ruins, called Teampull Cille Mhic Eóin, at which there is a well called Tobar Patraic... At this well there is a stone having on it the impression of Saint Patrick’s knee, and retaining on it apparently the Saint’s blood, as the people think, from its presenting a red (rust-like) hue. A to the Saint under whose patronage this Parish is, I could get no information.
