The National Monuments Service's description
According to Jackson (1979-80, 145) a holy well in Derrinturn known as St. Gorm's well was reputed never to run dry. The exact location of this monument is unknown. It was one of two holy wells (see also KD008-034----) in this townland (Jackson op. cit.).
