The National Monuments Service's description
On the W side of a road, at the base of an E-facing slope. A spring well which flows out from the base of the slope is now covered by a concrete hood. Concrete steps give access to the well from the road. There is no evidence of recent veneration at this well. There is another holy well (SL041-047----) c. 200m to SE in Knockmore townland.
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).
