The National Monuments Service's description
The townland of Castlereagh is made up of a small portion of bogland, the
remainder is good pastureland. South of the site is the Ferbane/Ballycumber road.
This is the site of a holy well which is not marked on any edition of the
OS 6-inch maps (OHAS files). The site remains unlocated and two landowners consulated knew nothing of the site.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
