Situated at the base of a SE facing slope in very uneven, poorly drained pasture, with good views in all directions. Several small boulders are visible set into the ground in a slight depression (3.3m N-S; 2m E-W). According to Lynch (1911-13), 'a small, much dilapidated ulaidh or altar, was destroyed [here] being supposed to be a heap of old stones'; according to Ó Danachair (1955, 202) 'there are no traditions' associated with the well.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
