In pasture, c. 210m N of early ecclesiastical enclosure (13876). Earthen bank (H 1.2m) encloses rectangular area (5.7m N-S; 5.5m E-W) around well; access by steps down in SW corner. Well is circular (diam. 1.5m), open and stone-lined; ground surface around is partially paved with stones; votive offerings surround well. According to Bowman (1934, 391), 'rounds are still paid on Good Friday - on which day only one visit will be paid. Rounds are also paid on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during the month of May.'
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
