The National Monuments Service's description
When Sir Charles Coote wrote his 'General View of Agriculture and Manufactures of the Queen's County' in 1801, there was a famous well in the parish of Straboe, however by by the late 1830's John O'Donovan was unable to find any trace of this well within the parish of Straboe.
