A holy tree (LF002-006005-) at its N edge is associated. A small, low, circular mound of earth and stone (LF002-006002-) and a wooden cross formerly stood c. 8m to the SE of the well.

• LF002-006002 Mound
  Description

  A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a small, low, circular mound of earth and stone c. 8m to the SE of a holy well (LF002-006001-). Adjacent to it was a small, crude wooden cross (LF002-006004-). Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2012

• LF002-006003 Burial ground
  Description

  On a low hill, immediately to the N of a small stream. This subrectangular burial ground (82.5m NE-SW; 33m NW-SE) is enclosed from SW-N-ENE by a stone wall and from ENE-S-SW by a post-and-wire fence, where it is bounded by the stream. The principal entrance is a wrought-iron gate and adjacent stile at NE. There is a secondary entrance, also a wrought-iron gate, at SW. Memorials mainly date from the 18th to the 20th centuries but the earliest recorded inscription is dated 1670 (Lennon 2005). In addition, there are a considerable number of low, upright and larger, flat, uninscribed stones. The burial ground is still in use. A holy well (LF002-006001-) and its associated holy tree (LF002-006005-) lie immediately beyond the stream to the SW. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 7 June 2013

  On top of a low but prominent drumlin in pasture. A report in 1976 noted that this raised circular area (diam. c. 35m) was enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. The original entrance may have been at NE. It is defined by a scarp (H 1-2m) and the fosse (Wth 6.5m; D 0.4m) is only identifiable from N-NE. The scarp and some of the interior have been removed from NE-E-S. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 30 November 2011

• LF002-020 Crannog
  Description

  At the SE end of Lough Nabelwy, which has a stony shoreline. This oval, high-cairn crannog (19.8m E–W; 14m N–S) rises 1.8m above the soft, muddy lake-bed and is moderately overgrown with grass, a tree and some shrubs. Two centrally located, low cairns (covering an area 8.4m N–S; 7.2m E–W) consist of a thin layer of angular and subangular sandstones spread out over what seems to be a timber floor. The edges of the crannog are submerged but stones forming a plateau are evident all around it. Vertical timbers (L c. 1.5m; Wth c. 0.15m) were noted on this part of the crannog and a possible vertical post was found to the S of it. The edges of the crannog are distinct in material and form against the lake-bed. A rectangular feature (2m NE–SW; 1m NW–SE) at the SW, composed of subangular stones, may be a small jetty.
