On a SSW-facing slope of rising ground in undulating countrside with nearby castle (TS051-003----) c. 100m to N. A natural spring well much overgrown with evidence of internal stone facing, with no roof over the well. There are no apparent religious associations attached to the well. It is possibly a natural spring well of secular association. Seymour (1917, 40) describes the well as a 'built-over well called "Lady Well", local tradition explaining this name by a story that at one time there were three ladies living in Cappagh House, who reserved the water for their own use, and would not allow the neighbours to draw any of it'.
