On low-lying ground c. 20m from the N bank of a SE-NW stream. This is an oval well (dims 0.95m NE-SW; 0.75m NW-SE; D 0.65m) defined by a masonry wall (Wth 0.5m; H 0.6m) which is open to the SW and which has a trough (dims 0.9m x 0.4m) on top of the wall. It is within a subcircular enclosure (int. dims 8.5m x 7m) defined by a masonry wall (Wth 0.6m; H 1m) with a limestone crucifixion plaque (RO051-072002-) (dims 1.13m x 0.9m), probably 18th century in date, set into it (Crawford 1919, 115). A thorn tree stands over the well. The well is still venerated, and a pattern is held on 21st June (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 24; Moore 2000, 91-2), although St Rónán of Aghalurcher, Co. Fermanagh (Foley and McHugh 2014, vol. 1, 685-90), after whom it is thought to have been named, is remembered on 23rd December (Ó Riain 2011, 538). The parish church of Taghmaconnell (RO051-053001-) is c. 900m to the NE.
