What is recorded here
In a hollow in generally wet low-lying ground. A spring well now covered by a concrete well-house. There is a road a few metres to the S of it and a series of concrete steps lead to the well from this road. There is no evidence of recent veneration at this well.

Linked to Saint Currin, an early Irish Christian saint, the well is traditionally associated with cures for skin ailments and general well-being. Locals historically visited the site for healing rituals, often leaving coins or small offerings as tokens of gratitude.
