Located NE of the square in Kilcock village and indicated, but not named, on the 1st. Ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map. Known locally as 'Tubbermohocca' and dedicated to the 6th century St Coca, sister of St Kevin of Glendalough, the well was apparently covered in the mid-19th century. (O'Donoghue 1999, 170-71). Local tradition recalls a pattern day at the well on the 6th of June (pers. comm. Mr. Michael Durkan). It was rediscovered recently when a man-hole cover was lifted to reveal a circular well (diam c. 0.8m), several metres deep and lined with small, undressed mortared stone walling. The well was dry on day inspected.
