What sets it apart is a carved limestone slab standing upright immediately to its east, worn and scored with incised crosses on both faces. One side bears a figure of Christ in low relief, though the lower portion of the stone appears to be broken, leaving the figure's waist at ground level. Turn the slab in your mind and the reverse offers something equally arresting: a face carved in profile alongside the inscription "Seven Pater Nosters and Seven Ave Marias. The Honour 1731." It is an unusual combination of image, instruction, and date, formalising in stone the precise devotional act expected of those who came here.

The well belongs to a tradition of pattern days, the Irish practice of performing ritual "rounds" at a sacred site, walking a prescribed circuit while reciting prayers, often on a saint's feast day or other fixed date in the calendar. At Titeskin, according to Patrick Power writing in 1940, devotions were paid on August 15th, the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, which aligns with the statue of Our Lady placed within the well enclosure. The 1731 inscription on the limestone slab gives a rare fixed point in the history of a site that otherwise accumulates meaning quietly, across generations. A nearby tree strung with rags and rosary beads suggests that the well continues to attract visitors, the practice of leaving cloth offerings, known elsewhere in Ireland as "clooties", being one of the oldest layers of holy well devotion, predating any Christian framing of these places.
