Just below HWM at the head of a small inlet on W side of Cuan Chill Chiaráin. Known locally as Tobar Cholmcille, it consists of a natural smooth pothole (D 0.3m) with a shallower extension adjoining its rim, said to be the knee-print of the saint. No offerings are visible, but it was frequented in the last generation; seven rounds would be made and a pebble cast into the well on each round. Not visited. (Robinson 1985, 57)
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).
