Description
One of two wells (CO072-028001-) on either side of narrow stream valley. Overgrown and inaccessible. Rarely used when visited by Hartnett (1939, 237); 'It is a shallow spring well, partly covered by a flat horizontal stone. There area few faded flowers and ferns laid on top of this'. Rounds were paid at both wells on three successive Sundays. Local tradition that mass was celebrated here in Penal days.
