The National Monuments Service's description
According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 229), in a field called 'Castle Field', to the W of the medieval church of Castleinch or Inchyolaghan (KK023-003001-) there is a well known as, 'St. David's Well, formerly holy, but now neglected'. The precise location of this holy well, though it is probably near the castle (KK023-002----), is unknown.
