On the SE-facing slope of a low hill in rough pasture. In 1837 O’Donovan recorded that there were ‘three venerable ash trees, two living and one dead’ at this well. Its waters were used as a drink only and an ‘Ana or Stabha’ (a drinking-cup chained to the well) was always left at it for the use of pilgrims (OSL, 24). The well is within a D-shaped structure (2.3m ENE-WSW; 1.6m NNW-SSE) defined by a low drystone wall (H 0.7m; Wall T 0.6m). The upper portion of the wall is relatively modern but the lower courses appear to be considerably older. A stream flows in a SE direction from it. (Kearney 1969, 19)
