The site of this well is situated in the front of No. 35 Stiles Road. This was formerly part of a demesne NW of Clontarf Castle (Dillon-Cosgrave 1977, 120; Ó Danachair 1958, 79). Stiles Lane has since been developed with housing estates. A tarmacadamed area at No. 35 Stiles Road is identified locally as the site of the well.
