Attempts have been made to refill the well with earth. Disused circular shaped well (diam 0.6m) covered with a piece of timber and lined with metal. The well has no water in it and measures 1.5m deep. A local farmer informed us that a small mound approx. 7.5m high was located to the N of the well, but it had been levelled several years ago. On the OS 6-inch map there is another Holy Well (OF016-003----) immediately to the E.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
