Lies in a graveyard (KD010-013002-), 2m E of the E gable of the church (KD010-013----). A deep (D 1.95m), circular (diam. 2m) stone-lined well of coursed, well-dressed stones has steps leading down to the water and is enclosed by a modern wall (H 1.15m) with a piered gate and plaque commemorating its restoration which commenced in 1989.

Linked to a local veneration of the Virgin Mary, as suggested by the name "Lady's Well," the site may have been a focus for pilgrimage or healing traditions, common at wells dedicated to the "Lady." Such wells were often associated with miraculous cures or protective charms in Irish folklore.
