Sunday, 31st March 2002

A pretty typical 'modern' holy well in that it is surrounded by a low wall to the rear and has steps leading down.

There is a grill over the well itself and a long handled ladle is provided for taking the water. The presence of the bullaun indicates a much earlier form of worship at this site.
