The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described in gothic lettering as Lady Well on both. It is located on a S-facing slope at the head of a slight W-E valley in the lower E-facing foothills of Slievecoiltia. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. There is no evidence that it was ever venerated, and it is not known locally as a holy well.
