This record was created on the basis of the name ‘St. Fallan’s Wells’, which is depicted on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map to the W of a small rectangular structure. On the 1838 edition of the map, the name ‘St. Faelan’s Wells’ is shown c. 40m further to the SE, to the E of two spring wells, c. 15m apart. The rectangular structure shown on the 1933 map is also depicted but is unnamed. It is possible that the name was incorrectly placed on the earlier map. On inspection in August 1984, only one well (GA097-091001-), the rectangular structure, was visible and there was no visible trace of a second well.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
