The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SE-facing slope. Myler (1998, 101) recorded a small round well with a rectangular flag roof, known locally as St Brigid's well. It was within a small triangular enclosure and its entrance faced SE (ibid.). The well was removed shortly after it was recorded by Myler and there are no visible remains of it.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
