The well itself is long gone from view, sealed beneath a main sewer laid around 1860, but the objects found at its mouth survive, quietly preserved in a religious community's collection a short distance from where they were dug up.

The discovery happened during Corporation sewer works on Aungier Street, directly opposite No. 56, the site of the Carmelite Priory. Workmen uncovered the well and, near its opening, found two small silver objects, a ewer and basin. A ewer is a type of pitcher, and together with a basin the pairing is associated with ritual washing or pouring of water, which led the Very Rev. Dr. Spratt, to whom the objects were handed, to suggest they had been used for baptismal purposes. Dr. Spratt was a prominent Carmelite friar based at the nearby priory, and he added the pieces to what was evidently a significant personal collection of antiquities. The find was recorded in the Irish Builder in September 1891, some thirty years after the sewer was laid, suggesting the objects had circulated in local memory before appearing in print. The 1891 article noted that the two silver relics were still preserved among the collection left to the Carmelite community by Dr. Spratt after his death.

There is nothing to see at the original site today. The well is entirely subsumed beneath the street, and no surface feature marks the spot opposite the old priory on Aungier Street. The Carmelite presence on that stretch of the city, however, is still visible; the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on Whitefriar Street stands nearby and remains an active parish. Anyone curious about the silver ewer and basin would need to make enquiries with the Carmelite community directly, as the objects form part of a historical collection rather than a public display. The main interest here is less in visiting a specific location than in knowing that a sewer dig once interrupted something much older, and that the two small vessels retrieved that day ended up outlasting both the well and the man who identified them.
