The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with a holy well (LF023-048001-); this thorn bush is growing from the enclosing a wall of the well at NW. A report in 1977 (SMR file) recorded that rags had been tied it. As none were visible at the time of inspection, this practice appears to have been discontinued.
