The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope. Subcircular well (dims 1.2m x 1.1m) defined by a drystone wall (H 0.5m) with a whitethorn bush nearby. Known locally as Lugakeeran Well, which had a cure for stomach pains, it is not visited anymore, and there is no evidence of veneration.
