Situated at the base of a rock face c. 90m S of Templecronan church (CL010-021002-). Named ‘Tobercronan’ on the OS 6-inch maps. The rock face is at NE and the area around the well is concreted over. A small oval opening allows access to the water. Offerings of money are left at the well and rags are tied to adjacent branches. An irregular drystone wall encloses both the well and a penitential station (CL010-021013-) (dims. of enclosed area c. 7 x 9m). A small stile at NW provides access.
