The National Monuments Service's description
No longer in holy use. Two modern concrete troughs now retain water for agricultural and domestic use. Another holy well (CO151-027002-), shown only on OS 6-inch map (1842), was located 70m to S along laneway.
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.
