The legend about the Bangor one is that St Columba also known as Colmcille paid a visit to Bangor Abbey. He left a monk minding his boat after he landed at Bangor Bay. St Comgall, abbot and founder of Bangor Abbey came down to the shore following the stream. He invited the monk up to the abbey. On the way he noticed the monk was blind in one eye. He bathed the eye in water from the Holy Well and the monk’s eye was healed. An old Thorn Tree was beside the well.

Is the derivation of Donaghadee Domhnach Caoide Caidin’s Church? Would fit in with Kaddy’s Well . A local Donaghadee man has wondered about that.

2 Townland, County, GPS
Saint John's Point, Lecale Upper, County Down
3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
Situated on the site of Saint John's Point Old Church/graveyard (ruined, pre-Romanesque) and right next to a ballaun stone; near St John's Point lighthouse. Well is currently built into the wall separating the churchyard from the road. Appears to be made out of rough dry stone; approx two-thirds enclosed, with a capstone on the top; the open third has steps leading to the bottom; approx 4 feet deep (maybe a bit more?); mud at the bottom. Usually dry, but I have once seen it full of water. May be able to find more info on NI historic environment viewer.
4 Cure
Unsure; perhaps had something to do with the ballaun stone
5 Pattern day
Unsure; I think that little is known of the relevant St John.
