The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the bottom of a NE-facing slope with a SSW-NNE stream c. 50m to the E and a W-E stream c. 90m to the N. This is a circular concrete well (diam. c. 1m) with a concrete shrine. It is within a rectangular enclosure defined by concrete walls. This is probably the Tobar Anna well known from the adjacent townland of Carrigcastle (Power 1952, 118). The well was re-opened in 1982.
