The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and described in gothic lettering as St. Coleman’s Well on both. It is situated on a steep and overgrown W-facing slope, and c. 40m S of the site the church (WX035-049001-). It could not be identified in 1988. The well is named after one of the many saint Colemáns (Ó Riain 2011, 183-208). However, there is no record of veneration at the well.
