What is recorded here

Situated in a fold on a W-facing slope. The bullaun stone (LE035-018----) is close to a well which is an opening (diam. 1.2m; D 0.5m) defined by boulders (dims. c. 0.5m). No name is attributed to it, but in the folk tradition it was regarded as a holy well, which moved to this location after clothes had been washed in it at another unknown place.
