The National Monuments Service's description
In a slight fold on a NE-facing slope and on the W side of a laneway. The well is a rectangular drystone-built structure (dims. 1.1m x 1.1m) with two lintels and an opening (Wth 0.6m x 0.6m) at NE. Just to the N statuary is housed in a large concrete and glass structure (dims. 2.1m x 1.2m; H c. 2m) with a rendered wall allowing passage around it. The base of a finial cross (CL033-058001-) is cemented on top of this wall.
