Marked similarly on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and described by John O'Donovan c. 1840 as a holy well (O'Flanagan, 1929, 26). It is situated about the mid-point of a steep S-facing slope. This is a rectangular masonry structure (L 1.85m; Wth 1.05m; H 1.35m) with a limestone plaque bearing the inscription 'AK 1846' on the front of the canopy. AK was Andrew Kirwan, who presumably built the structure. The well water flows immediately S into a large six-sided pool (dims. c. 15m N-S; c. 10m E-W) defined by low masonry walls. The pool is circumvented by a public road N-S, but there is no evidence of veneration.
