Located in a slight E-W valley at the S foothills of Slievecoiltia Hill, and just on the N side of a small NE-SW stream. A well is marked on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as St. Bridget’s Well in gothic lettering on both. This is a slight sunken area (dims c. 5m x c. 4m), but there is no record of veneration, or any evidence of it.
