In rough hill pasture, in a hollow on a S-facing slope to the E of the summit of Knocknahulla. The holy well consists of a roughly circular water-filled depression (0.4m N-S; 0.35m E-W; D 0.35m) in the peaty soil. A cross-inscribed stone (CO127-046001-) covers most of the well. Known as 'St Michael's well', rounds were made here up to recent times on 25th September. Four small recently made wooden crosses lie on the ground 1m to the E. A penitential station (CO127-046002-) lies 8m to the N.
