The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a S-facing, on a townland boundary above Glencullen village. The source of this record would appear to be the two named ‘Wells’ marked on the OS printed 1:5000 map (no. 3516, 09/03/1998) on either side of the townland boundary separating Glencullen from Newtown. The wells are not marked on the 1st edition OS 6-inch map but were indicated, unnamed, on the latest edition.
