Some 80m to the north-east of Kilconnell Abbey (GA086-001----). Two holy wells are named 'Lanfera's Wells' on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. By the time of 3rd ed. (1947-8), the words 'Site of' were added to the north-west well. Both wells still survive, the south-eastern one has been covered by a pump-house. Another well with the same name (GA086-001003-) lies c. 140m to the south-west.
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).
