Marked 'site of' on 1842, 1904 and 1939 OS 6-inch maps. On W side of N-S road. Muddy patch indicates site. According to Hartnett (1939, 198), local tradition that well removed itself to Garryadeen (CO051-089----) because an unclean act, offensive to St Lachtaín, was committed here:- a young woman washed her garments or feet in the well.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
