What is recorded here
In rough gorse-covered pasture, on a SW-facing slope, under the tarred surface at the N side of the Lehid-Kilmakilloge road. According to local information, a bowl-shaped hollow, which was always filled with water, was visible in the natural rock before the road was tarred. This hollow was known locally as a holy well. There is a mass-rock (KE108-059001-) c. 10m to the SE on the opposite side of the road.
