Situated towards the bottom of a steep E-facing slope of Kilwatermoy Mountain, with the N-S stream in Moorhill Glen c. 250m to the E. The well is on the NW side of a SW-NE road. It is a rectangular drystone built hollow covered by two lintels and with a small opening (Wth 0.53m; H c. 0.2m) at E. It is still venerated and a penitential cairn (WA033-005001-) (dims. 1.6m x 1.3m; H 0.4m) of quartz stones covers the lintels and supports a metal cross. A pattern was held on the 14th of September in honour of the Holy Cross in the early 19th century, according to John O'Donovan (O'Flanagan, 1929, 72).
