The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a quarry (dims. c. 11m x c. 7m; D 1.5m) on a severe S-facing slope, and c. 110m NE of the parish church of Kilgobnet (WA030-001001-). A single lintel is visible in the edge of the quarry, but the area is dry and filled with silt. A pattern was held at the well on February 11th (Power 1937, 187). The well chamber extends into the hillslope and may be a souterrain.
