The National Monuments Service's description
In marshy, low-lying ground. Well is covered over and worked by a pump. Named well probably of post 1700 AD date and not a holy well as there is no evidence of any religious activity around this well.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
