According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 42 (128)), 'This was formerly frequented as a holy well. Jackson (1978-80, 147) mentions a late 19th century reference that a procession and pattern were held at the well up to the late 1830's, but comments that, since Sunday was a day of devotion, patterns were not usually held at 'Sunday's' wells. The well lies in level pasture c. 3m to the W of Clane motte (KD014-026004-). It is enclosed in a concrete-roofed, rectangular structure (L 1.8m; Wth 0.8m; H 1m) of concrete blocks, open at the N end, from which a pipe draws water off for domestic use. This spring may once have fed the outer fosse of the adjoining motte?
