That combination, agricultural ground and active devotional use, is not unusual in Ireland, where hundreds of such sites persist in fields and hedgerows, largely unannounced. What makes these places quietly remarkable is their continuity: the same source of water, the same basic stone structure, still drawing people for reasons that predate any formal record of them.

The well was noted by Walsh in 1985 and recorded in the Archaeological Inventory of County Cork, which catalogued sites across the east and south of the county. Beyond its physical description, a stone structure covering the well within pasture land, the record confirms it remains in holy use, which places it among those Irish holy wells that never fell out of practice. Holy wells in Ireland typically attracted patterns, the local term for gatherings of prayer and ritual held on a saint's feast day or at particular times of year, and the persistence of such use at Killeens suggests the site retains at least some of that living connection, however quietly observed today.
