What is recorded here
Marked on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and described as a holy well on both. It is located towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of a low N-S ridge. This is a natural spring against a N-S field bank and townland boundary, but there is no evidence of, or record of, veneration. The church site (WX022-013001-) is c. 100m to the W.
