On a N-facing slope, c. 20m S of a road. The well is a deep natural water-filled basin in a cleft in the slope. The surrounding area is waterlogged. This well is said to have been visited during penal times on the feast of St Patrick (MacDonagh 1936, 31). By 1942-4 it was recorded as no longer in use (ITA).
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).
