Sadly this well no longer exists, being filled in during the late 1960’s early 1970’s.  The RCAHMS record for the site indicates that during their visit in 1972the water from the well was now piped to a tank 50m south west of the well.

E M H Mckerlie desrbes the well as:

”an oblong aperture, full of clear brown water, with a stone-slab, which had been used as a cover, lying on one side, amid nettles, grass and stones.”

You can clearly see the remains of Kirkcormack nearby.  See SKiP0098 for details of Kirkcormack.
