The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as HOLY WELL: ALTA-A-CHACH (unlocated). Recorded period: UNCERTAIN. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
Linked to Saint Eachtach, the well is associated with healing traditions and may have been visited for cures related to skin ailments. The name "Alta-a-Each" reflects an ancient Gaelic tradition of naming wells after local saints, often connected to early Christian monastic activity in the area.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
