The National Monuments Service's description
The well is virtually unrecognisable and is covered with overgrowth. Impossible to examine due to dense overgrowth. Large boulder marked on OS 6-inch map as 'Christs Stone' (OF016-030002-) beside holy well.
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.
