Coomanaspig Well/Tobar Chúm an Easpaig (KE087-052001-) is a well is located on the roadside on the N facing slope of Kilkeaveragh mountain.
It is defined by two side slabs and a covering lintel (KE087-052002-), on the upper surface of which is a faintly incised linear cross. A short paved path leads to the well, with one of its slabs (KE087-052004-) featuring a deeply incised cross. An upright slab (KE087-052003-) in front of the well, measuring .6m x .35m, is similarly incised.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1062. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
