Situated on a low SE-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area with a nearby stream to the SE and a church (TN031-010001) some 200m to the SW. Although at some distance this is possibly associated with the church site to the SW as there is a holy well called 'St Commaneth's Well' (TN031-010002) close to the church. A large earthfast boulder (dims. 2m x 0.9m x 0.65m) with two deep depressions (dims. 0.35m x 0.17m; 0.38m x 0.10m) and one shallow one on its upper surface.

Situated at the base of a W-facing slope with a stream immediately to the S, a holy well (TN031-010002-) to the SE and a bullaun stone (TN031-009----) to the NE. Present remains consist of a low rise of ground where the church was located in the centre of a graveyard (TN031-010003-) enclosed by a stone wall. Several architectural fragments are located in the SW sector of the graveyard and others are reused as grave surrounds. Berry (1904, 99-110) described the church as surviving to foundation level only measuring internally 60ft x 26ft (18m x 8.7m) with architectural fragments of a late medieval date scattered around the graveyard. An octagonal-shaped limestone stoup which rested on a four-clustered column is now located in the grounds of Newport RC church.

Holy Well dedicated to St. Commaneth, also known as 'Cragg Well'. Situated at the base of a W-facing slope of rising ground with a church and graveyard (TN031-010001-) to the NW. A disused holy well originally enclosed by a drystone wall and now enclosed by a modern concrete surround with broken statues on a shelf to the N of the well. Lizzie Capliss of Tooreenbrien Upper and a pupil of Lackamore National School recorded the following tradition about this holy well; 'In the parish of Newport there are two holy wells, "Tobar Geal (TN037-047----) and Cragg Well. Tobar Geal is situated two Miles East of Newport and two miles West of Lackamore School in the townsland of Derrygeen. "Cragg Well" is situated in the townsland of Cragg; it is about three miles outside Newport. The Saint of "Tobar Geal" is St. Deborah and her sister St. Commat [Commaneth] founded "Cragg Well". At all seasons of the year people visit "Tobar Geal"; a visit consist of "Five Rounds". "By a round" is meant to go "round" the well. Each person leaves something as an offering when he is leaving such as a beads, a picture, a statue, a coin, a fancy drinking vessel, a piece of ribbon, a medal, but food is never left there. People suffering from teethaches, sore eyes, headaches, stomach troubles and bone disease visit "Tobar Geal". People give "rounds" for invalids and take home some of the water and the sick will rub it to the affected part or else drink it. No trout has been seen in "Tobar Geal". The well is surrounded by whitethorns and evergreen bushes. Cragg Well What has been said about "Tobar Geal" also applies to "Cragg Well". A trout can be seen in "Cragg Well", and anybody who gets lucky enough to see the trout is sure of his request being granted.'

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.
