Between this week and last I had driven past the sign to this well 5 times, so I thought I'd better take a look. For me it's always worth popping into a holy well in case there's a bullaun stone. Alas there isn't one here, but the well or rather springhead is quite interesting.
A large, rounded rock protrudes from a steep bank. At the base of this outcrop a large fissure has a pool of water within it that is fed by a spring. This then runs into quite a vigorous stream.
There is a very Catholic shrine built around it and a fairly old looking cross slab stands on the bank above. The spring is 'housed' in a little wooded glade giving it a very Sylvan air.
