On N side of track to W of a house cluster and c. 150m SW of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (GA009D025002-). Known locally as Scáithín, probably from the saint's name, it consists of a small natural spring, now dry and stopped with turf, in a small smooth-sided recess in a rock outcrop by the track (info. T. Robinson). When visited in June 2016 there was no visible surface trace of the well. It may have been obscured by vegetation.
