The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope, in former demesne of Cahermoyle House. Now covered by disused concrete water trough (3.8m x 1m; H 1m). The well was possibly located towards W end of trough where, from an area now infilled with stones, a water pipe connects to the trough. The well is not depicted on 1841 OS 6-inch map.
