The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on all OS eds. but not acknowledged as an antiquity. Dedicated to St Killian (local information). The well is sited within a subrectangular enclosure defined by a stone and concrete wall which is rounded at E and open at W. A small stone cross inscribed with the date 1927 is set into the wall behind the well.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
