What is recorded here
On a hill slope, on the W side of a millrace where it joins the Douske River, N of Mill Road (formerly the northern High Street), and to the rear of Cushendale Mills. The well is much silted up, though there is still a flow of water from it into the adjacent millrace (Farrelly et al. 1993, vol. 1, 156). The spring is just visible under a stone lintel (L 1.2m; T 0.23m) and is delineated by a low semi-circular wall (H c. 0.6m; Wth 0.2m) of stone and concrete (ibid.). See attached photograph:
