In the centre of Peterswell village. This spring well, dedicated to St Peter, is enclosed within a well-built mortared wellhouse constructed of mortared rubble limestone walls and a pitched roof of flagstones. The square-headed doorway is to the SE and is secured by a short iron gate. A cut-stone lintel over it bears the inscription ‘Dermot Donelan of Sylane 1840’. Inside modern guard rails surround the well. Below the roof, on opposing sides, two pairs of putlog-holes are visible. The well is fed by a stream that appears to stop c. 5m to the SW of the wellhouse, though it may continue underground.
