The OS Letters (1839) mention, ‘a well called Nicholas’s Well lies a little to the west of it [‘it’ being the church (KK022-015001-) and graveyard (KK022-015002-) at Kilballykeefe]’ (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 237 (81)). The church is also described by Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 436) who mentions that the patron of the church was, ‘St. Nicholas, whose holy well, called Thubberniclaush, or St. Nicholas’s well, is close by’. The precise location of this holy well is unknown.
