The National Monuments Service's description
Natural spring well situated at the bottom of an E-facing hillslope with a church (TS046-002001-) and graveyard (TS046-002003-) to the W. This is a natural spring which runs into the adjoining stream immediately to the E of the well. There is no evidence of any enclosing element around the spring well or any local tradition of patterns associated with the well. The holy well may be associated with the church which lies c. 600m to the WNW.
