The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the 25-inch OS map immediately W of Clomantagh tower house (KK013-002003-) and annotated 'Pump'. At the foot of the base-batter of the tower house there is a deep circular stone-lined well (int. diam. 1.25m; D c. 25m), set within a walled circular enclosure (diam. 2.85m). It is likely to be contemporary with the 16th-century tower house.
