On the townland boundary in a shallow valley c. 120m NNE of a church of the same name (GA009-004----). Known locally as Tobar na Seacht nlníon, it consists of a natural spring, revetted by stone, and covered by a flat circular stone. A number of coins are visible within it. The OS Letters state that 'There was formerly at this well a flag stone called Leac na seacht n-inghion... which was made the same use of as Leac Féichin [see GA026-009----; i.e. a cursing stone]...but some of the clergy caused it to be buried under ground “for special weighty reasons” ' (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 27). (Killanin 1954, 99-100; Tully Cross I.C.A. 1985, 7-8)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
