  Description

  In undulating rocky pasture, straddling a narrow ridge. A circular raised area (diam. 24m) defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) NW-NNE and elsewhere by a scarp. An external fosse (D 0.7m) is evident NW-NE.

The interior is under pasture and clear of overgrowth. In the interior a central strip (Wth 4m) which runs N-S is level while on either side of it the ground slopes down moderately to E and W.

• SL028-015 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In pasture, at the base of a ridge. A clear spring rises at the base of the ridge and flows S. Modern holy plaques and statues indicate that this well is still visited. A recently built stone wall encloses it. In 1836 it was noted that the Patron day was 25th July and that 'stations' were still performed at it (OSL, 245). In 1942-4 a local tradition was recorded that the well was moved by a local friar from a site beside Geevagh Creamery, c. 3.5km to SE, to its present location after the landowner objected to pilgrims visiting it (ITA). A tree now grows adjacent to the well.
