The National Monuments Service's description
On the N side of a road, in wet poorly drained land overlooking bogland to the S. This spring well is enclosed by a small wellhouse that is constructed of concrete walls and a slated roof. It is open to the E and one step leads down to the water. Votive offerings have been placed on top of the side-walls and they also hang from the rafters of the roof over the well.
