In a small clearing in a coniferous plantation on a moderately steep E-facing slope, c. 175m SE of a medieval church (KD032-005----) and graveyard (KD032-005001-). While its existence is mentioned by O’Conor (Herity 2002, 96 [30]) who co-compiled the OSL for County Kildare, nothing else is recorded about the well. A wooden post and plastic trellis fence encloses an oval well (2.4m NW-SE; 2.1m NE-SW; D 0.9m) which is retained by a mortared stone wall (T 0.6m) which doesn’t rise above ground level. A circular concrete cistern and feed pipe abuts the well at NE and a modern cross slab (H 0.6m; Wth 0.45m; T 0.05m) is erected on its NE edge. (Jackson 1979-80, 155)
