The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on OS 6-inch maps on cliff-edge on W side of Dunworly Bay. Sea erosion has caused cliff to collapse leaving no trace of well. Locally remembered as holy well.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
