The National Monuments Service's description
Natural spring well which forms a large pond located in centre of old fish-pond which is indicated on first ed. OS 6-inch map. No evidence of any enclosing feature around well and location inside fish-pond suggests it is unlikely to be used as a holy well. Inch Church (TN034-090) located 350m to SW suggests the possibility that it could have been used as a holy well.
