Located on a N-facing slope. A well, which is known locally as St Dympna’s Well or St Davnet’s Well, has a cement canopy that was provided in the 1950a. It is connected with St Dympna of Tedavnet, whose church (MO006-022001-) is c. 4km to the SSE but the well is not recorded in antiquarian descriptions.
