The National Monuments Service's description
Unlocated holy well known as St Aongus's Well within townland, well was located in Claxton's quarry, it is not easy to find as the floor of the quarry is covered with boulders. There is just space to dip a cup or other small vessel. There is no visible out-flow but the water is very cool and fresh (Dooley n.d., 38).
