The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a small N-S valley with a stream just to the W. Originally dedicated to St. Baramedan (Ryland 1824, 271), the patron saint of Kilbarrymeaden parish, it has become corrupted to St. Bernard's Well. This is a large circular drystone-lined well (diam. 4.2m) with three steps leading to the water at N. There is a small rag tree (WA025-041001-) beside the well.
