The well is marked but not named on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map, but by 1886 it was known as 'St Brigid's Well' (Comerford, 1886). On a very gentle W-slope in tillage and marked by the stump of an elm tree. In 1985 a small, square, unploughed area (dims. 2m; 2m) contained the well which occupied a small square, water-filled area (dims. 1m; 1m) defined by stone walling below ground level (SMR file). By 1995 it had been covered with wire mesh and light timbers (Holton 1995, 22-3).
