Circular grass-covered area (diam. 30m N-S) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 4-6m; H 0.2-0.6m). There is no visible fosse or entrance, and it is bisected by a N-S field wall and townland boundary.

- WA037-007 Ritual site - holy well
Description
Described as 'St Mochua's Well' on the 1840 and 1927 eds of the OS 6-inch map. Situated at the bottom of a S-facing slope, and just on the N bank of the E-W Greagagh River, c. 2 km E of where it joins the N-S River Blackwater and c. 300m W of Clashmore church (WA037-008001-). The well is a circular drystone structure (int. diam. 1.5m) with a lintelled canopy and an opening (Wth 0.7m; H 1.1m) at N. There is no evidence of veneration but a pattern was held on February 10th, according to J. O'Donovan, writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1929, 80). The well is within an oval enclosure (int. dims c. 29m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a masonry wall (H 1.9-2.2m). Access is by a bridge over the stream to an E-W road just to the S, but at one time there was access at N through a brick doorway, now blocked, from Clashmore House that has disappeared without trace. There was also access to the enclosure through a gateway (Wth 2.7m) with masonry piers at E. O’Flanagan, M.

Description
Located towards the bottom of a S-facing slope on the N bank of the Greagagh River at a point where it changes from a NE-SW direction and turns W to join the N-S River Blackwater c. 2.3 km to the W. This is an early ecclesiastical site founded by St Cronin or Mochua in the 7th century (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 31), but there is little evidence of this, other than a bullaun stone (WA037-008005-) of Old Red Sandstone (dims. 0.58m x 0.5m; H 0.28m) with a single basin (diam. 0.27m; D 0.15m) and St Mochua’s Well (WA037-007----) c. 300m to the W. (Power 1896b, 201-2) It is the also site of the parish church of Clashmore (WA037-008002-) within a rectangular graveyard (WA037-008003-) which contains a C of I church that was built in 1818 and has recently been converted into a heritage centre. Archaeological excavation (07E0051) on a small site c. 40m N of the graveyard produced no related material (Lynch 2010b), and testing (06E1088) on a large area (dims. c. 270m N-S; c. 125m E-W) W of the graveyard produced only post-medieval features (Lynch 2009).
