The National Monuments Service's description
‘Very little is known about this holy well, except that St Colum is said to have visited this Holy place where Mass was said during penal times and to have said Mass there. Local people once paid rounds there.' (Joseph Moriarty, 1985)
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 895. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
