The National Monuments Service's description

Situated in a low-lying area at the base of a steep hill which lies to the NW. A covered, circular well (Wth 1.7m; H 2.2m) of keyhole plan with the entrance (L 2m; Wth 0.76m) at SE. A wall (Wth 0.35m) encloses five steps which lead down to the entrance. The well is built of sandstone with crude cement mortar. Three iron bars support a crude stone 'lintel' consisting of stones set on edge. The well is c. 1m above external ground level and has an external cement cap smoothed over a corbelled roof.

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.
