The National Monuments Service's description
On an E-facing slope just outside the perimeter of rath (RO024-013001-) at N. St Patrick's Well is marked on the 1837 and 1914 eds of the OS 6-inch map as being in the fosse, which tends to be water-logged, but the well is known locally (Coyle 1994, 37-8).
