Situated on flat poorly drained pasture overlooking Lough Derg to the N. A natural spring well which is enclosed by a modern concrete wall. The interior is paved around the circular well (diam. 0.93m; D 0.26m). Described in the Ordnance Survey Namebooks (1840) as a 'spring well so called, it is said that persons affected with sore eyes have been cured'. There are no votive offerings visible.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
