Situated at the bottom of a S and E-facing slope and c. 10m N of a SW-NE stream close to a point where the stream turns NW. It is described as a ‘Holy Well’ in gothic lettering on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map and it is known locally as St. Patrick’s Well of the Wart Well. A rectangular pool (dims 2.6m NE-SW; c. 1m NW-SE; D 0.6m) has an arm (dims 3.5m NW-SE) extending NW from its NE end. It is partly defined by small stones. A bullaun stone (MO021-012002-), which had a cure for warts is now thought to be in the floor of the well. The ecclesiastical enclosure (MO21-001----) is c. 100m to the NW.
