This is a tough one to find! I suggest a little local help or a GPS.
It is also worth making the effort for as the site is very unspoilt. The well lies beneath the roots of a large ash tree and is almost invisible until you are right by it. Look for the small caged figurine of St. Anne and a worn sign on the tree trunk.
Underneath the tree the well is protected by an arched stone-built roof. I was expecting to see a rag-tree over the well, but there are no offerings. A mug hangs on a bush next to the well so that you can 'atek the waters', but I don't know what properties they may have.
The tree and well are situated in the NW corner of a very boggy, undulating field on a west facing slope.
