3 Physical description of well and its surroundings
The Wart well is a bullaun located on the same boulder as a mass rock. The site sits on private property along the Roaringwater Bay. Near the mass rock and bullaun there are two large standing stones (Clarke, 2018.)
4 Cure
The holy well cures warts.
5 Pattern day
The boulder arrangement saw use as a mass rock, so use of the holy well was likely as unstructured as the ad hoc masses held there.
