In enclosed landscaped area, in NE quadrant of ringfort (LI036-06001-). Circular modern stone wall (diam. 1.05m) encloses well head with outflow on E side. A concrete statue of St Brighit stands beside the well. According to Ó Danachair (1955, 212) rounds made on 1st February and 'a pattern was held formerly on this day … legend: Saint Brighid converted a pagan chieftan who lived in the fort, and caused a well to spring up for baptism.'
