The National Monuments Service's description

Located on the N bank of an E-W stream in a slight E-W valley. This is a natural spring which rises into a pool and overflows into the stream to the S. A modern statue of a saint and an iron cross on a concrete plinth are visible. It is still venerated, particularly on March 1st.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
