On shoreline, covered by tide at high water, 'yet on its receding, the water ... is found perfectly fresh' (Burke 1908, 119). Now modernised, surrounding area reclaimed. Steps down into well; concrete cover and lining. Cross slab (CO153-018001-) stands beside well. Still in holy use. Said to have been visited on Saturdays and Sundays and on St Kieran's Day (5 March) (OS Name Books).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
