The National Monuments Service's description
According to Carrigan (1905, 335) the original parish church of Cooliagh (KK026-036----) was situated in the townland of ‘Kyle’, together with its graveyard (KK026-036001-), in the ‘churchyard field’, but had been uprooted and ‘subject to the plough’. In the corner of the churchyard field was a well called ‘Thubberakilleen’. The precise location of the holy well within the townlands of Kyle East and Kyle West is unknown.
