The National Monuments Service's description
Holy well KE088-051---- was located c. 270m E of Kilpeacan ecclesiastical site (KE088-015001-). It was referred to locally as a holy well and was filled in during the 1940s. No surface trace of it remains.
Lying face down on a field boundary c. 20m to N is a large cross-inscribed slab which formerly stood close to the well (local information). Measuring 2.18m long and .5m in maximum width, it features an equal-armed linear cross close to one end.
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. 1051. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
