The National Monuments Service's description
Within a hollow, on the S bank of a small stream. This circular well (diam. 2.1m) is enclosed by a crude drystone wall (H 0.4-0.5m; Wth 0.8m) with a gap for access at the W. A holy tree (LF002-006005-) at its N edge is associated. A small, low, circular mound of earth and stone (LF002-006002-) and a wooden cross formerly stood c. 8m to the SE of the well. There is a burial ground (LF002-006003-) on the N side of the stream.
