The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a fold on a S-facing slope overlooking the Cappagh valley. St Conlon's well (Power 1952, 144) is located in mixed woodland. This is an overgrown, rectangular stone-lined well (dims. 1.7m x 1.05m), with some quartz stones on a lintel that partly covers one end. There is also a shrine with some statues in a alcove (Wth 0.45m; H 0.6m; D 0.4m) built into a masonry block ((Wth 1.4m; H 1.6m; T 1m). A small cross-socket (ext. dims. 0.3m x 0.2m; H 0.15m) (WA030-061002-) is kept at the roadside c. 150m to the S.
