    ago, I went in to see this well and I noticed that there is a stream running from the well into a rivulet. There is a wall all round the well about four feet high.
    Many years ago people when passing visited that well and blessed themselves with the water. There is a white thorn bush growing to the north side of it in the enclosure.
    The well is about a quarter of a mile from Kiltimagh and about 30 yards to the west side of the public road.
