At the bottom of a W-facing slope, in the NE corner of a small walled enclosure, in very marshy ground. It is located c. 225m SW of the medieval church (KK027-046001-) in Stonecarthy East. The OS Letters (1839) mentions that the well is called, 'Tobar Ciarain (Toberkeeran) i.e., Keeran's Well, but it is held in no sanctified veneration at present' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 283 (96)). A natural spring well choked with weeds. The well is no longer venerated and has fallen into disuse and neglect.
