The National Monuments Service's description
Located in the valley of a small WNW-ESE stream, just SW of the stream and immediately S of the R374 Fethard to Slade road. A well is marked on the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described as Lady Well in gothic lettering on both. It was probably dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, but it is no longer extant in an area of poor pasture.
