What is recorded here

Unlocated holy well known as St Aongus's Well within townland, well was located in Claxton's quarry, it is not easy to find as the floor of the quarry is covered with boulders. There is just space to dip a cup or other small vessel. There is no visible out-flow but the water is very cool and fresh (Dooley n.d., 38).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
