No visible surface trace of well which, according to local information, was not encased but simply a spring in the ground. According to OSL (vol. 2, 12) called 'Tobar Ri(fada)gh an Domhnaigh (Well of the King of Sunday)'. Site now occupied by County Council rubbish dump. Described by Ó Danachair (1955, 214) as 'a small clear spring, overhung by an old thorn tree … the devotion has almost died out.'
