Marked on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and described as St, Garvan’s well in gothic script on both. It is situated in the valley of a N-S stream which is c. 10m to the E. It was mentioned by John O’Donovan writing c. 1840, but the date of the pattern was not known (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 38) so the particular St. Garbhán to whom it was dedicated cannot be identified (Ó Riain 2011, 362-4). A shallow triangular area (dims c. 5m x c. 5m) with a leat leading to the stream may be the well, but there is no evidence of veneration.
