The National Monuments Service's description
On low-lying ground c. 20m from the N side of a SE-NW stream. St Rónán's Well (RO051-072001-) has a limestone crucifixion plaque (dims 1.13m x 0.9m), probably 18th century in date, set into the inner face of the wall of its enclosure at NW. Apart from a large crucified figure it has a ladder, the cock in the pot, the hammer and a flail. (Crawford 1919a, 115)
