Unlocated holy well within townland described by Carrigan as 'In this townland between the 'rabbit-burrow' and the Erkina River, and a few perches only from the latter, there was a holy well, now closed up, called Tubberkierawn, or St. Kieran's Well. An old man, born in 1766, remembered to have frequently seen people praying around it in his early days. Part of Coolacurragh is called Farren-Kyran, or St. Kieran's Land, in the Down Survey Books, but the name is now forgotten; most probably it was the land surrounding the holy well' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 61-2). It was situated a few perches from the Erkina River.

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.
