Located within a roadside ditch, south of Grallagh church (DU007-001001-), graveyard (DU007-001004-) and holy well (DU007-001002-). There is stone in bank with water flowing from it visible, although whether this is a bubbling spring or flowing water into drainage ditch is not discernible. Very overgrown. Described in 1958 as;'a little well in the road dike. No tradition of devotion' (Ó Danachair 1958, 74). Site of dried up holy well described in 1975 as; 'what seems to be the site of it is now completely dry, as water has been diverted by drainage works. Small setting of stones in ditch at roadside' (H. A. Wheeler 15/04/1975, SMR File).
