What is recorded here
Located at the SE end of Cruach na Cara/St Macdara’s Island, c. 2.2m to the NE of a ruined house. This well (Wth 1m; L 0.3m; D 0.7m), dry at the time of inspection, may be a domestic well associated with the house. It is roughly triangular in plan; the back wall consists of a massive granite boulder, while the side walls are constructed of smaller boulders. The base is overgrown with grass.
