The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in low-lying, gently undulating, wet pasture. Rectangular water-filled depression (dims. 4.5m NE-SW; 4m NW-SE; D 0.45m) with vertical sides and a flat base of earth and stone. The well is enclosed by a circular wire and post fence (diam 6m). A now sod-covered concrete slab (Wth 4m; L c.5m) covers a reservoir located immediately to the SW of the well. Mulligan (1942-4) records that this well is reputed to have a cure for blindness.
