  Description

  A roughly circular hollow cut into a rock outcrop forms this holy well. A tradition records an inscription on the base but it was not possible to verify this. Described by Ó Muirgheasa in 1936 as a 'Holy Well in Cruck townland, a quarter of a mile to the south of Mullaghduff N. S. It is said there is an inscription on the flag in the bottom of the well' (1936, 152). (Ó Muirgheasa No. 49) The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).
