Today, that devotion has quietly ceased, leaving behind a carefully constructed holy well with no congregation. It sits just seventeen metres from Kilnamona church and its graveyard, close enough that the two sites must once have formed a single landscape of observance, yet the well is now easy to overlook entirely.

The well is dedicated to St. Laughteen, and was venerated on the 19th of March each year, according to O'Flanagan's 1928 survey of Irish holy wells. Holy wells of this kind were typically focal points for pattern days, a form of localised folk devotion combining prayer, ritual circumambulation, and communal gathering, often timed to a saint's feast day. The corbelled canopy, in which flat stones are layered in overlapping courses to form a rough dome or hood without mortar, is a construction technique with deep roots in early Irish ecclesiastical building. That such care was taken over a well less than a metre in diameter speaks to how seriously these sites were maintained by local communities. No record survives of when the veneration stopped, or why.
