Situated on flat pasture in an upland area. A natural spring well of rectangular plan (0.75m x 0.65m x 0.9m H) enclosed by a stone canopy set into the S face of a low rise of ground with a stream running out from the S face of the well. No votive offerings are visible. According to the OS Letters the well was visited on St Patrick's Day and every Saturday for its curative powers (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 3, 115). Stone on top of wall beside swing gate has several holes on the upper surface which appear to be water solution holes rather than prehistoric rock art. St. Patrick's stone (TN020-056001-) 25m to SW.
