The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in italic lettering as Templeshelin Well, although the location on the earlier map is c. 80m to the N of the present well. This is situated in a small NNW-SSE valley with a stream c. 15m to the E. It is a natural spring with no evidence of veneration.
