The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. Horseshoe-shaped spring well (4m N-S; 3.1m E-W; D 1.6m) with tree on W side whose roots form W and S sides of well. Used by farm animals. Probably same well as 'Tubber Caogh' which, according to Grove White (1905-25, vol. 3, 80), was a holy well.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
