The National Monuments Service's description
In rough upland pasture on edge of high land, valleys to S and W. A short distance to the S of church (KK002-001001-) and down field is a holy well which according to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 190) is called the Church Well. A small stream runs to the S from the well. It is locally supposed to be very effective for toothache. In the 1970/80s the well was lined and capped with stone.
