Projecting from the NNE side of the enclosing wall of a holy well (SL046-013001-), into the well space just above water level. A large irregular boulder (max. dim. c. 1m), possibly in situ bedrock, with a central roughly circular solution hollow (diam. c. 0.25m) which forms a natural basin for holding rainwater. According to Wood-Martin (1892, 368), the water was traditionally attributed the power of curing rickets in children.
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).
