Located on the E bank of a S-N stream in an undulating landscape. A natural spring rising from the rock was a place of pilgrimage until the 1850s, when a pattern was held on Garland Sunday, the last Sunday in July, to celebrate Lughnasa until the veneration was transferred to a well (LE027-079003-) closer to Kiltoghert church (MacNeill 1962, 606). There is local knowledge of this well was venerated up to the 1940s.
