What is recorded here

In level pasture, c. 20m SW of dried-up stream bed. Ó Danachair (1955, 212) describes well as circular area (diam. 12 feet) enclosed by dry-stone wall (H 1.5 feet). This now almost completely masked by dense overgrowth but appears to be slightly raised area (H c. 0.15m; diam. c. 2.9m) defined by scarped edge with stones scattered along its upper edge (this only visible on NW side). According to Ó Danachair (ibid.) known as St Anne's Well.
