The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked on the 1840 or 1906 eds OS 6-inch maps. Reference to a causey well south west of churchyard. (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 239). No visible surface remains.
Described by carrigan as 'There was, till lately, a well near the churchyard, to the south-west, called "Causey [ie.., Causeway] well".
In the adjoining field to the NW of the priory there is a modern well surround that may have enclosed an earlier 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.
