In marsh and bogland. Marked and named in Gothic script on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map but on 3rd ed. (1932), it appears in Roman script. A natural spring well enclosed by a collapsed roughly squared-off drystone wall (L/Wth 3m) which has been badly disturbed by cattle. According to local tradition, a horse drowned here and as a result the well is known locally as 'Tobar na gCapaill'. A CBG (GA047-009----) and a holy well (GA047-007----) lie c. 170m to SW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
