3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
"The well site lies at the end of a short unfinished road extension on the east side of the N18 road to Gort, accessible through a small opening opposite the industrial estate entrance on the other side of the road. The site was well chosen in that it has a cover of mature trees creating a natural grove [...] At the entrance to the site are four grottos that contained religious figures, included one of Saint Joseph. Some figures are now missing or broken [...] Overall a sense of neglect pervades the place. The main well was without water" (Houlihan 2015: 106).
