In a wooded area, on level ground to c. 80m SE of Ballindoon Dominican priory (SL034-211001-) and on the S side of a 6m high cliff. The well is now covered by a pump-house (2.7m x 2.7m). A small muddy stream flows SW from the pump-house toward Lough Arrow. No pilgrimage tokens or other signs of recent use are evident. According to Wood-Martin (1882, 228), the well gushed forth from the base of the cliff and stations were held there on St Dominick's Day, the 4th of August.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
