The National Monuments Service's description
On low, level ground c. 70m from the N shore of a bay on the N shore of Lough Ree and c. 30m S of the Lanesboro to Roscommon road (N 63). St. Faithlec's Well (RO036-048002-), c. 30m to the SW of church (RO036-048001-), is rectangular (int. dims. 1.1m N-S; 1m E-W; D 1m) and defined by a low masonry wall (Wth 0.2-0.45m; H 0.3-4m). The well is still venerated, and is open to the S where there is a small paved area (dims. 1.5m E-W; 0.9m N-S). A stream runs S to the lake, and a stile provides access from the road c. 30m to the N.
