In level pasture. Area now fence off and the well itself is being used by County Council as part of local water supply. Known locally as "The White Well" but no memory of it being in holy use. Described by Ó Danachair (1955, 211) as 'a strong clear spring about nine feet in diameter'; he notes 'no devotions' here because 'the well moved when clothes were washed there' (ibid.).
