This well is supposed to have healing properties. It sits on the northern side of the B8024 on the grass verge of the road between Dunmore and Ardpatrick. It is just past a relatively new mausoleum which can be seen from the well and shares the same side of the road. The mausoleum stands in a much older burial ground which is possibly dedicated to Oengus the Culdee who was a pupil of St Columba, or to St Aengus of Tallacht.
