The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Linked to a medieval chapel and a carved Celtic head, the site may have had pre-Christian ritual significance before being adapted into a Christian place of worship. No specific saint or cure is recorded, but the presence of a holy well nearby suggests it was used for devotional or healing practices.
