On low-lying ground, at the WNW end of Abbeylara village. Farrell (1891, 266) recorded that there was possibly 'a sacred well near the Abbey of Lerha (LF011-036001-), which was called the Well of the Saintesses'. This natural spring is defined by a circular mortared wall (diam. 0.9m), which has recently been modernised. In addition, a wellhouse has been constructed over it. The well is known locally as the 'Well of the Holy Woman'.
