Situated N of the public road in the garden of a cottage with second holy well (DG081-012002-) 39m to the SW with the bullaun stone (DG081-011-) at Kilgoly 900m to the SW. The S bank of the Murlin River is only 50m N of the well. Partially filled in circular well (diam. 1m) enclosed by a drystone surround. No evidence of any votive offerings at the well. Described by Ó Muirgheasa as 'Beside the road from Cashel to Meenacroise are two Holy Wells about 40 yards from each other in the townland of Kilgloey (Cill Gabhlaigh?). The wells are nameless but the roilig of Cill na Manach and Roilig na Manach are near them, and they are reputed holy, and cures are said to have happened at them' (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 150). (Ó Muirgheasa No. 31, 32)
