Situated in a fold on the N bank of an E-W stream at the E side of Lough Allen. This is a circular stone-lined structure (int. diam. 1.2m; D 0.5m) open to the S with the wall beginning to corbel in over the well. It was reconstructed in the 1980s and is accessible by a path from a green road c. 30m to the E. The water is rich in iron, although no cure is recorded. The pattern was formerly held on March 8th and the well was dedicated to St Beo-Aodh of Ardcarn (RO006-103003-) (Clancy and Forde 1980, 7).
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
