Situated in undulating countryside. Cremogue church and graveyard (LA017-014001/002-) located 180m to the N of the holy well (LA017-013----) and bullaun stone. Holy well visited on St Fintan's feast day, the 17th of February. Pebbles from it are thought to act as preservatives against shipwreck or accidental death (Comerford 1886, vol. 3, 337). The bullaun stone is located beside the holy well on the edge of the watercourse running out of the well.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
