The enclosure is modest, roughly 2.4 metres north to south and 1.7 metres east to west, but the well itself is four metres across, with stone steps cut down to the water level. It is a considered piece of construction, not a casual improvement to a muddy spring.

What makes this site quietly puzzling is how little is known about it despite its obvious intentionality. The 1929 Ordnance Survey map labels it 'Mean Uisge', an Irish-language designation, though no further information has been recovered on the origin or precise meaning of the name as it applies here. The water source has since been tapped, meaning the spring now feeds into a piped supply rather than pooling freely at the foot of those stone steps. Wells of this kind in rural Ireland were sometimes associated with religious observance, sometimes purely practical, and sometimes both at once; in this case, the record is simply silent on which category applies. The woodland immediately to the east frames the site without quite explaining it.
