A decorated mass rock stands near the well with carved images of Saints Ite, Brendan and Erc. These images have been sadly ruined by visitors making the sign of the cross over them with stones just since the year 2000.</text>

Branigan notes that the structure once held plaster frescoes on each of the four walls with images of St. Doulagh, St. Patrick, St. Brigid and St. Colmcille. A plaque also hung within with a Latin inscription comparing the holy well to Bethesda's sacred pool.</text>
