The structure is modest and clearly much-repaired: cement-covered stone walls, a roofing lintel, a stone-slab arrangement functioning as a rudimentary pediment, and a front shored up with concrete blocks. None of this has the look of careful preservation; it has the look of a place that people kept using, and kept patching together as a result.

By 1914, when a writer named O'Donoghue recorded it, the well was already in a state that prompted the observation that few votive offerings remained, though the well was still being visited. Votive offerings at holy wells, typically small tokens, rags, coins, or devotional objects left by visitors seeking intercession or giving thanks, are usually the most legible sign that a site remains active in local religious practice. Their scarcity at that point suggests the tradition was fading even then, though the fact that visits were continuing at all places this well within a broader pattern of Irish holy well devotion that has proved remarkably durable across centuries of official discouragement and changing religious culture.
