What is recorded here

In pasture, on gentle slope beside stream. Concrete basin used as drinking trough for animals. According to O'Leary (1919, 84) '...as no votive offerings are to be seen, apparently "rounds" are no longer made'. O Murchadha (1967, 16) identifies this well as St. Brigid's and St. Mary's as the holy well (CO099-027---) nearby to NW.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CO099-028
