The National Monuments Service's description
The well is now covered over by a large concrete slab for safety reasons and was impossible to examine as a result. No local tradition associated with well. Local landowner showed the SMR office these sites in June 1988.
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.
