In a small area of enclosed woodland bordering the W side of the Naas-Sallins road. According to Jackson (1979-80, 153), a pattern formerly took place here on March 17th, but the custom has ceased in recent years. The water was said to cure sore eyes. Bradley et al. (1986 vol. 4, 372-3) noted that it was 'still in use', and had a modern stone surround. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
