The National Monuments Service's description

Marked as a holy well only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a S-facing slope. This is a stone-lined depression open to the S. A pattern was held on the 8th of September, but it had been discontinued before the end of the 19th century (Redmond 1885-6a, 401-02). The burial ground (WA021-016----) is c. 100m to the SE.
