What is recorded here

Situated near the top of a SW-facing slope in pasture. The site is fenced off and covered with corrugated sheeting. There was formerly a step down to the well on the S side and stones continued around to form a circle surrounding the well. However this S side has been broken out and a concrete rectangular trough installed with a pump. A stream flows from this spring well downslope to the SW. Lower down the slope to the W there is another spring well. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TN040-029
