The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope at the SE end of a broad NW-SE ridge, and just NE of rath (RO034-0800008-). It is marked only on the 1929 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘Holy Well’. Nothing else is known of it and it is not visible at ground level, although there is a modern pump-house nearby.
