At the W-foot of a moderately steep pasture slope, some 35m E of a small SW-flowing stream which feeds the River Barrow to the W. According to O’Donovan writing in the OSL in 1837 (Herity 2002, 127 [114]), ‘The well near the site of the Monastery [KD026-001----], and which, in all probability anciently bore the name of St. Evin, is now called Lord Henry Moore’s Well, because it was enclosed by him. The location indicated on the OS 6-inch mapping is a large rectangular sunken area (30m NE-SW; 20m NW-SE; D 1-1.8m), the perimeter of which is overgrown with ash and briar, and partly enclosed on the E and W sides by a low denuded, earthen bank (ext. H 0.2-0.4m; Wth 2-2.5m). The interior is waterlogged and heavily poached by livestock, and there is no obvious trace of a spring/well.
