The National Monuments Service's description
A spring contained in an irregular stone-lined pool, at the foot of a rocky knoll beside the public road overlooking the Aughrim river. The name probably means 'well of the old town' (an tsean bhaile).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
