In a SE-NW valley on the SW side of a stream. It was known as Toar an Imbligh or St Brocaidh's Well and stations were performed during the last two weeks in August in the 19th century (Connellan 1948-9, 142-3; Hayward 1955, 212). Brocaidh of Imleach was a putative nephew of St Patrick (Ó Riain 2011, 126-7). This is a rectangular well surrounded by concrete walls (ext. dims 2.55m E-W; 1.6m N-S) with a gate on the E side. There is no evidence of veneration, but Emlagh church site (RO027-034001-), the location of an early monastery, is c. 220m to the SSW.
