The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a gentle N-facing slope. Excavation in 2000 (Licence no. 99E0565) in advance of the construction of the N18-N19 Ballycasey-Dromoland Road Improvement Scheme revealed a 19th-century ornamental well most likely constructed by the owners of the nearby Clonmoney House. consisting of an irregular flight of steps leading down a gently sloping ramp onto a flagstone platform which facilitated easy access to the water. The water was fed by means of a duct. A formally built rockery delimited the structure along its northern flank. (Clinton 2002, 22-4)
