The trough, measuring roughly 3.8 metres long, a metre wide, and a metre tall, sits in what was once the demesne lands of Cahermoyle House. It has swallowed whatever was there before it, and the well itself is now a matter of inference rather than observation.

The evidence is circumstantial but suggestive. Towards the western end of the trough, a water pipe connects to the structure from an area that has since been infilled with stones, and it is here that the original well was possibly located. What makes this particularly interesting is the silence of the historical record on the matter: the well does not appear on the Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1841, which means it was either overlooked by surveyors, had already fallen out of common use by that point, or was simply not considered significant enough to mark. Holy wells in Ireland were, and in many places still are, sites of local devotion, often associated with a patron saint and visited on a particular feast day for patterns, prayers, and the leaving of votive offerings. The absence of this one from the map does not necessarily mean it lacked that kind of history, only that the history was not captured. The site was documented by Denis Power and uploaded to the record in August 2011.

The well sits in pasture on a south-facing slope within the former demesne of Cahermoyle House, which gives some sense of the landscape to expect: open, agricultural, and without obvious drama. There is nothing to see at the well itself beyond the concrete trough, which is described as disused, and the stones filling the area at its western end. A visitor with an interest in the archaeology of holy wells might find the site worth a quiet look precisely because of how thoroughly it has been obscured, the well reduced to a pipe connection and a patch of infill. Access would depend on landowner permission, as the site lies in private pasture.
