On the W bank of the River Suir, c. 60m SW of Cahir abbey, at the base of a steep rock outcrop precipice under young beech trees. This well is in the form of an irregular-shaped pool (dims. 2m x 4m; D 0.2m) in rock outcrop with no enclosing element. Clear water is visible bubbling out from under a rock on the S side. Two streams emanate from the well, flowing sluggishly to the N and S, where they meet a larger stream (former mill race) and eventually join the river. It is indicated as 'Lady's Well' on the 1st (1840) and 2nd (1901-05) ed. OS 6-inch map which may be a religious reference to 'Our Lady'. There is no evidence of religious veneration.
