In factory car park, c. 1km to N of Clonmel. A triangular bullaun stone (L 3m to N; L 2.9m to SE; L 2.2m to SW) (max. H 0.7m) of limestone rock outcrop with natural fissures. It is depicted on the 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map as a 'Holy Well'. The main water-filled depression is circular (diam. 0.3m; D 0.5m) and occurs on the elevated S corner with another small, circular depression (diam. 0.15m; D 0.03m) on highest point, adjacent to the N. Four other circular depressions (diam. 0.17m; D 0.1m and diam. 0.12m; D 0.025m at W and dims. 0.15m N-S; 0.13m E-W; D 0.05m and diam. 0.06m; D 0.02m at E) are aligned c. E-W, along the lower portions of the gently sloping N side of the outcrop. The bullaun stone is incorporated into a landscaped area defined by a low, modern stone wall.
