The National Monuments Service's description
In a small pasture field, in an area overgrown by briars and ferns. The holy well consists of a scatter of stones on the ground and appears to be dry. This is probably the holy well mentioned by O'Donoghue (1986, 11) under the adjoining townland of Meenvane as local enquiries failed to find any evidence of a holy well in that townland. A cupmarked stone (CO139-035001-), containing coins, lies immediately to the S of the well.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
