In pasture, on the NW side of a field of flat, damp ground. According to local information, this well is associated with St. Columcille and is visited annually on the saint’s feast day, the 9th of June. It consists of a natural spring enclosed by a rectangular surround (1m NNW–SSE; 0.7m ESE–WSW; D 0.2m) of concrete and stones. A stream flows N from the well for a few meters and then turns to W. There is a concrete pump house immediately to S of the well. The well is located in the SE corner of a square fenced enclosure (c. 8m N–S; c. 8m E–W), with a wooden gate giving access at the W. The enclosure is thickly ringed with willow scrub and brambles, with an ash tree and a hawthorn bush close to the well at SW. There is a burnt mound (SL008-202001-) immediately to SW.
