The National Monuments Service's description
O'Rorke (1878, 397) mentioned that a well, on the bank of the Owenmore River near the new pump, was formerly called St. Anne's well, though the late Major O'Hara used to call it Fechin's well. The exact location of this well is not known but O'Rorke (ibid.) associated it with the possible church (SL026-047----) at Killassar. There are four other wells associated with St Fechin in the vicinity (SL026-010----; SL026-015----; SL026-086----; SL033-062----).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
