On the flat flood plain of the Kings River which flows c. 35m S of the well. The Augustinian friary (KK026-010016-) of Callan is located c. 60m to the N. Indicated on the 6-inch OS map as 'St. Augustine's Well'. It is a clear spring well surrounded by a stone wall (dims. 3m x 4.63m), with an entrance on the S side. At the entrance the water flows over a limestone gutter-spout (KK026-010019-) which may have come from the friary. There is no evidence of veneration. The well water flows southward into the Kings River.
