At the W edge of a low-lying basin.

The inscription in inscribed roman capitals reads: BVILT BY THE RIGHT HONORABLE / SIR RANDOLL MAC DONNELL / FIRST EARLE OF ANTRIM 1625. It is associated with the holy well (RO048-108001-) (Weld 1832, 514-8; Kelly 1917-20) See the attached image. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
