Situated at the base of a slope at the source of an ENE-flowing stream within a heavily-wooded thicket. The well has dried up. Remains comprise a circular setting of stones (diam. 2m). The well is said to have been created by St. Feichin of Ballisodare, and to have been the place where he frequently met his brother St. Adamanan of Skreen (OS Letters 1836, 319 (132). Patterns here ceased in the 1860s. A stone (SL019-141003-) bearing the track of St. Feichin's knees is said to have been located within the well (ITA Survey 1942-4). There is a tradition of a cross or cross inscribed stone (SL019-141002-) at this site (Timoney M.A. pers. comm. 1989). Neither the stone bearing the track of St. Feichin's knees nor the cross were located.
