In pasture, at edge of field, adjacent railway track. Rectangular well (Wth c. 1-1.10m; L 2m; D c. 1-1.1m) defined by random rubble stone wall with break in S-side where four steps lead down into the well from field level. Railway wall (H c. 2m) built atop N wall of well. Inlet in E side of well allows flow of water inwards from small stream; present water level c. 0.05m. Various religious objects hang from both the railway wall and the adjacent thorn trees. According to the OS Namebook (O'Donovan 1840) 'Sunday's Well = "Tobar Righ an Domhnaigh" = "Well of the King of the Sabbath or Lord's day": so called from persons resorting to it on Sundays for the cure of diseases which property it is said to have'. In the past the Rosary was recited at the well (OS Field Memorandums).
