In a natural, lowlying basin of damp, rush-grown ground bordered at NE−SW by the steeply rising slope of a ridge.
This holy well is named on the 1838 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps as ‘Tober Patrick’. It consists of a subcircular pool (diam. c. 10-12m; D c. 0.5m) fed by a natural spring. The pool has a mud base and is surrounded by willow scrub. The outflow extends to W and SW, partly flooding the ground for a distance of c. 25-30m SW of the pool. Horsetail plants grow in the pool, and more profusely in the overflow area. A post and wire fence encloses the pool and this adjacent wet area. A fulacht fia (MA040-103----) is located immediately to S of the well. A rath (MA040-070----) crowns a hillock c. 120m to WSW.
