In boggy ground, at side of farm track. Power (1923, 204) describes 'rather elaborate holy well....elaborately arched over and tended with some care; it is entered by a doorway, 6 feet by 4 feet. Rounds are made on August 15th and all during May. The pattern also is still kept, and there are votive offerings of the usual kind'. Sandstone surround visible at NW side; heavily overgrown. Numerous quartz pebbles scattered about. No longer in holy use.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
