What is recorded here

Situated on the SE side of an open area abutting onto a farmyard wall. Slab-built trough divided into three sections (dims. 5.85m x 2.6m; D 0.8m) fed by a spring, which fills the N trough. Named 'Three Wells' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. A possible bullaun, which has now been removed, apparently formed part of one of the internal dividing walls. There is a possible graveyard (WI034-017----) 20m to the SW.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WI034-018
