Situated c. 10m W of an overgrown trackway, in rolling pasture. Four rectangular stones (L c. 0.8m, D 0.3m; Wth. 0.5m) are arranged at ground level to form a square over the dry-stone cylindrical shaft of a spring well. The S stone has tumbled in, leaving a rectangular aperture (c. 0.5m N-S, by 0.3m). The E stone is set in the ground a step lower than the others and contains a natural hole that is circular in plan. The shaft of the well has been filled-in with rubble to a depth of c. 0.4m below ground level. According to Ó Danachair it was 'A little well of clear water in a field. It is known locally as "The Blessed Well" but no devotions are performed, and no traditions survive. The parish is dedicated to St Patrick.' (Ó Danachair 1955, 202).
