It is easy to miss, and by the mid-twentieth century most people had done exactly that. A folklorist recording the well in 1955 noted it was seldom visited, though it had once been, in his words, formerly very popular. A plastic pipe now runs from it to a nearby farm, which perhaps says something about the distance between sacred and practical uses of water.

The well is known from John O'Donovan's Ordnance Survey Name Books as Tobar hOdhrain, meaning St Oran's well. Holy wells in Ireland were typically associated with a local or early Christian saint, and the pattern of pilgrimage and healing attributed to them was both religious and deeply practical. This one, according to the mid-century record compiled by Caoimhín Ó Danachair, was believed to cure sore eyes and other ailments, a claim common to many such sites but no less earnest for that. The well itself is a sub-circular depression, roughly one metre north to south and two metres east to west, sitting at around two metres deep, with a natural outflow running south toward the Deel. It sits in low-lying ground between the Deel, which runs east to west to the south, and a smaller stream running north to south on the western side.

The site is not signposted or managed, and sits within working farmland, so access would require local knowledge and probably permission from the landowner. There are no dramatic features to orient a visitor; the well is essentially a grassy hollow with a trickle of outflow, significant more for what it once meant to people than for anything immediately visible. The pipes running from it are a jarring but honest detail, a reminder that a site which once drew pilgrims seeking relief for their eyes now quietly serves a farm's water supply. Those interested in early Irish devotional landscape might note the proximity of two watercourses on either side, a configuration that occurs at other well sites and may have contributed to the original choice of location.
