The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland with church (TS055-041001-) and graveyard (TS055-041002-) located 60m to SE. No surface remains visible of well described by O'Donovan as a holy well named after the Virgin St Sinech, the patroness of Cruachan Moy-Owney but no stations have been performed at it these thirty years (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 154). Single beech tree on top of low rise of ground in grassland to NW of church and graveyard may mark the site of this holy well.
