The National Monuments Service's description
According to O Coindealbháin (1946, 161) 'the well has a very small flow of water now. There is a well-kept shrine containing a statue of the B.V.M. by the side of the well. It is not frequented on a holy well nowadays'. Shrine restored in 1981; no visible surface trace of well.
See Excavations 2000, no. 127, p.44
