What is recorded here

On Baroda Stud Farm, c. 450m ENE of Connellmore House. Although not shown on either the 1st ed. (1838) or latest ed. (1939) of the OS 6-inch map, the OS Letters (Herity 2002, 73 (214)) record that it was named after St. Augustine, while the monument is named 'St. Austin's (Holy Well)' on the intervening OS 25-inch map. Jackson (1979-80, 148-9) states that while no pattern was associated with this well, tokens were left at it. According to Clarke (1968, 341), the well, surrounded by some half dozen trees and having been dry for the previous 30 years, ‘was restored to use and blessed’ in 1968.
