Some 20m NE of a rath (GA085-059----), E of a stream, in rough pastureland. This well consists of a dry partially rubble-filled hollow enclosed by a poorly preserved D-shaped mortared stone wall (3.1m E-W; 2.3m N-S; H 1.5m max; Wth 0.6m). A gap (Wth 0.9m) at the N may be original. On a block (c. 0.3m by 0.3m) set in the wall at E an inscription dedicated to St John and dated 1714 is visible. On inspection the area was overgrown and piles of large stones had been dumped about the site. Current aerial imagery (OSi Digitalglobe (2011-2013) indicates that a number of trees are growing here now and forestry plantations lie to the NE and SW. (Cody 1989, 333-5, no. 149).
