The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on the OS maps, this well is located on the upper N slopes of Kilkeaveragh mountain. It is almost completely obscured by overgrowth and was enclosed by a low drystone wall, remnants of which survive. There is a tradition of rounds formerly being made at the site (local information).
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. 1079. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
