Set in a fold near the bottom of an east-facing slope, with the River Lask running roughly northwest to southeast about 450 metres to the northeast, the well itself is modest in scale, 1.4 metres in diameter, ringed by drystone walling that still stands to 1.2 metres. It sits in an overgrown area associated with a possible early ecclesiastical site, but no pattern days, votive offerings, or other signs of ritual use have been recorded here. The designation feels like a question as much as a label.

The strongest thread connecting this place to any kind of sacred past is the townland name itself. Clonamona derives from the Irish Cluain na Manach, meaning the meadow of the monks, and the name appears in records as far back as 1594. A cluain, a low-lying riverside meadow, was a common setting for early monastic settlement in Ireland, and the proximity of the Lask fits that pattern neatly. The name alone does not prove a monastery stood here, but it carries the memory of one, preserved in ordinary speech across four centuries and more. Whether the well was ever part of that ecclesiastical landscape, used by monks, blessed by association, or simply dug for practical purposes on ground that already carried a religious name, cannot now be said with any certainty.
