The National Monuments Service's description
On S edge of a track close to E end of Kylemore Lough. It consists of a small stone-lined spring with a neatly built drystone surround (c. 1.5m by c. 1.2m) opening towards W. It is associated with St Bridget. Modern offerings are visible on a ledge above the spring itself and in a small recess at the back of the surround (info. T. Robinson). Not visited.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
