The National Monuments Service's description
Unlocated holy well within the townland of Saltpans, listed by Ó Muirgheasa as well no. 87 (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 156). Described by Ó Muirgheasa as, 'there is a strong tradition of a Holy Well at the Saltpans, just at the angle where the old road to Rathmullen meets the present one. Modern drainage has destroyed it' (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 156).
