The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a knoll in an undulating landscape and at the head of a valley that extends off to the NE. This well which is a natural spring at the base of some rock outcrop is c. 25m outside the graveyard (CV038-027003-) to the NW but there is no indication that it is a holy well. A seasonal stream runs off the N to join the headwaters of a stream that follows the valley to debouch into Milltown Lough.
