What is recorded here

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 116) this is one of three holy wells dedicated to St Kieran (KK029-026----; KK029-024---- and KK029-040----, the latter unlocated). Carrigan (ibid.) describes it as being, 'in the "castle field" of Kilkieran; it is around around with loose stones'. This would place the well in the vicinity of Kilkieran Castle (KK029-022----), which is situated roughly centrally within the townland, however, the precise location is unknown.
