Acccording to Daly (1957, 21; Anon. 1928, 161) 'fallen statues were found lying in a ditch near to the well, which were supposed to be part of the well's adornment thus indicating that it had the reputation of being a holy well and in all probability a curative one. Its site was given as being in a field known as the Bull Field, near Fairfield and Cliftonville roads'. Annotated 'Deane's Well (Covered)' on the 1863 ed. OSi 25-inch map.
