On the W side of a road leading through Knockomagh Wood, on the N side of Lough Hyne. The well (1m E-W; 0.85m N-S; D 0.2m) is known as 'Tobarín na súl' (the well of the eyes). It is enclosed by a moss and ivy-covered U-shaped stone wall (H 0.8m) on three sides and is open to the E, facing a path. A variety of religious and personal items including rosary beads have been placed on the wall. Pieces of cloth hang from the mountain ash tree on the W side of the well. According to Roberts (1988), this well and another (CO150-008----) called 'Shour Well' c. 50m to the N, are both dedicated to St Brigit.
