What is recorded here

St Columbkille’s Well lies 50m E of Clonlost House. Depicted on the OS 6-inch map as a roughly rectangular-shaped well. Ringfort (WM020-036----) lies c. 65m to SE. Monument described in 1970 as a roughly rectangular-shaped, open well defined by a stone wall on three sides and by a short flight of steps on the fourth side. The level of the water is c. 1m below the present ground surface and appears reasonably clean. The ground in the immediate vicinity of the well is strewn with rocks and rubble derived from the demolished farmyard. Area around holy well has been incorporated into a large field and there is no visible surface trace of the well today on Digital Globe aerial photography.
