What is recorded here
In pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope. No visible surface trace. According to local information, people in the former Ballygriffin House (TS060-055----), c. 200m to SW, used to draw water from this well. Probably disused when a later well was sunk close to ESE of the existing modern house. Named Lady's Well on OS 6-inch map editions.
