While visiting the two bullaun stones that share the same field as this well I had noticed the water trough in front of it, but wasn't sure if it was a holy well or not. The signs at the church don't mention it, but the presence of bullauns and the site's proximity to the church did indicate that it probably is a holy well.
Then, as I was looking at the bullaun stones a couple arrived to take the waters from the well. It is indeed a holy well and is obviously still used and renowned for its cures. The woman who visited the well told me that it had cured her several times, but didn't elaborate on what ailments it cured. She also pointed out that you had to Believe for the cures to work.
The spring head itself is protected by a concrete slab, which is actually much better looking than most modern wellhouses! The water then enters a long trough in front of the well before running down the field.
