It is easy to miss entirely, and that is rather the point. What was once a roofed spring well, its waters credited with curing sore eyes and headaches, and visited by generations of local people who knelt on a flat stone to bathe their faces, has been reduced to little more than a damp depression at the base of a steep bank beside a private driveway. By 1975, when field surveyor Henry A. Wheeler recorded the site, he noted that the building of a modern house had completely altered it, and that no sign of the flagstone roof remained.

The well is dedicated to St Maur, whose feast day falls on the 17th of January. It sits roughly 180 metres west of St Maur's Church and its associated graveyard, and appears annotated as 'St Maurus' Well' on the 1937 edition of the Ordnance Survey Ireland six-inch map. Folklore collected from Rush School in the late 1930s, and now held in the Dúchas Schools' Collection, gives a vivid sense of what the site once meant locally. Children recorded that people had visited the well to kneel on a large flat stone, bathing their eyes and foreheads in the water to relieve headaches and eye complaints. One account notes that the custom was already dying out at the time of collection, though the older generation still believed firmly in its curative power. A second account observes that several people in the parish bore the name Maur in honour of the saint, though in many cases this had since been altered to Maurice. Mass was celebrated on the feast day, offered for the welfare of the parish.

The well sits on private land, at the base of a steep bank to the east of a residence driveway, so access is not straightforward. The Spout Road itself is a short connector road and is easily located between the Whitestown Road and the Channel Road. Those with an interest in how holy wells, which are traditionally sacred spring sites often associated with early Christian or pre-Christian veneration, have fared in the modern landscape will find this a particularly candid example of gradual erasure. The 17th of January, St Maur's Day, remains the date most connected to the site's former ritual life, though there is little now to mark it.
