The National Monuments Service's description
In general area of where well is marked on 6-inch map the ground is very wet and spring water is to be seen rising to the surface. But there is no evidence of a formal structure.
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.
