In pasture, c. 65m W of Brigown church (14400) and graveyard (14549), which lie within early ecclesiastical site (13877). Not marked on 1842 and 1905 OS 6-inch maps. Unenclosed spring well, adjacent to bush; no evidence of holy use. According to local tradition, a woman washed her clothes in this well one evening; next morning, monks found that well had gone dry, but that a new well (13946) had appeared c. 880m to NE in Ballynamona (Power 1980, 23).
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.
