  Situated 130m NW of Anatrim Church (LA016-016003-). Pattern day on 3rd November that was held at the well up until the 1830's (Carrigan 1905, 146-150).

• LA016-016005 Settlement cluster
  Description

  Reference to settlement here (Feehan, 1983, 383). No visible surface remains. Test excavation was carried out at the site of a proposed dwelling on 21 October 2000. The site lies within the area of archaeological constraint around an ecclesiastical site comprising a church (LA016-016003-), a graveyard (LA016-016004-), a holy well (LA016-016002-), an incised stone (LA016-016001-) and a settlement. The proposed dwelling site is centrally located between the church/graveyard and the holy well and lies c. 60m distant from each monument. Four test-trenches were excavated on the footprint of the development. The results of testing suggest that there was some industrial activity in this area, but the findings were inconclusive in that the origin and nature of this activity were not clearly established. There was some evidence of burning across the tested area, but the deposits, some of which were over 0.5m thick, were sterile apart from moderate charcoal inclusions. The discovery of occasional burnt stones and fused matter (sand, stone and slag) suggests that some intense burning took place in the vicinity of the tested area. However, the only feature of possible archaeological significance was a curvilinear feature, 2m wide, which was encountered at the junction of Trenches 1 and 2. A section through this feature revealed that it was quite shallow, 0.2m deep, and no clearly defined cut was identified. The finds comprised occasional lumps of slag and animal bone fragments. Heat-fractured stones were present in the upper fill, but the loose nature of this fill and the presence of rounded cobbles may indicate a post-medieval/modern date for this feature. Finds from the topsoil comprised two modern delftware sherds and a sherd of post-medieval/early modern stoneware jar. Further monitoring was recommended (Bennett 2002, 186). In 2003 five test-trenches were excavated (Nat. Grid Ref. 2295; 1912) by Ellen OCarroll of the Archaeology Company under licence number 03E1706 at a proposed development at Coolrane, Anatrim. No traces of archaeological remains were found within the trenches (Bennett 2006, 281-2). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran.
