The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture on a W-facing slope. Known locally as St. James' Well and is associated with St. James' Church (TS062-096----) and graveyard (TS062-096001-) c. 200m to S. Two ringforts (TS062-089---- and TS062-097----) are located c. 120m and 220m to the NE and S respectively. According to local information the well was stone-lined and had been used to pipe water to Peppardstown House, which is c. 80m to the SW, before being blocked up. It is not visible at ground level.
