Ordnance Survey maps from 1838 and 1929 record it as St. Dima's Well, but local tradition, preserved in the Schools' Collection of folklore, knows it as Saint Dympna's Holy Well. Whether the names refer to the same figure, or whether one saint quietly displaced another in popular memory, is left unresolved. What the tradition does preserve clearly is purpose: people came here, particularly in August and September, seeking relief from rheumatism, the well's water believed to carry curative properties.

The physical arrangement of the site suggests it was once carefully tended. The well itself is small, roughly D-shaped and delimited by flagstones, measuring less than a metre in length. A stone-lined pathway connected it to a roadside gateway bearing a cross. Nearby stood a glass-fronted concrete shrine housing a statue of St. Dympna, with a fragment of worked stone set beneath it. To the east of the well lay a bullaun stone, a boulder with one or more cup-like depressions worn or carved into its surface, often associated with early Christian and pre-Christian ritual activity in Ireland. A rough cut-stone seat sat to the south-east. To the south-west, a pattern tree, the kind of tree at which votive offerings are left during a patron saint's feast day, still held rags tied to its branches, a practice common at holy wells across the country. Aerial imagery from the early 2010s suggests the well is now largely obscured by encroaching trees and undergrowth, the path and its careful geometry gradually disappearing back into the low-lying land around it.
