The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a N-facing slope which continues down to a stream running along the base of a field boundary. A deep well which is clogged with muck and dung. There is stone walling around the well and a flat lintel roof on top of which are heaped a number of loose stones. A pattern to St Anne's well was held on the 15th of August (O'Neill 1976, 63).
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.
