updating my original post.
This well is on the old coffin track from the creagan inn to the burial ground on the slopes of ben churalain.
very difficult to find I visited again last year and more people had left offerings.
There may have been a chapel nearby as one is marked on the old military maps,there are a group of ruined buildings below the churchyard.
Beyond the churchyard roughly half a mile at a similar height are two wells,an eye well and a knee well and an outcrop of rock with a carving of a birlinn ship dated 1769.
So quite an interesting area!
