What is recorded here

Near the S end of a narrow N-S valley or glen, some 290m SE of Glassely church (KD-32-037001-) and graveyard (KD-32-037004-). At the foot of a low rock outcrop, large slabs have been cemented together to form a roughly rectangular surround to a natural spring (2m E-W; 0.8m N-S; D of water 0.5m). Two mature ash trees stand to the NE and ESE and beside the latter a low thorn bush has a metal hook in it from which three mugs hang. The surrounding area has been landscaped with plants and shrubs, and a fine statue of St. Patrick stands nearby.
