  Description

  Holy well dedicated to St. Finian, identified and recorded by Amanda Clarke. A grotto dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary is constructed out of stone, a cross embellished with shells above it. The well is small, subterranean and enclosed in stone work, a niched shrine above it, all surmounted by a large neatly trimmed fir tree. Crosses have been etched on each side of the well. The water is clear and fresh, containing many coins, the little niche above full of statues, candles and photographs.
