In NW suburbs of Tuam town (GA029-199----), 100m NNE of the 'Abbey of the Holy Trinity' (GA029-178----); formerly in level marshy grassland but now surrounded by a housing estate. Well-preserved spring well defined by a circular cemented limestone wall, capped by a series of limestone blocks and opening out to S. Access is gained via a series of steps. It may have been associated with the abbey. Another possible holy well (GA029-175----) lies 160m to NNE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'.
