NF87NW 3 835 786.
(NF 8353 7868) A small well, variously known as 'of the Priest', 'of the Cross' and 'of the cups' is situated on the beach, 200 yards west of the graveyard of Ard a'Bhorain (NF87NW 16). It is at the base of a massive rock just above HWM, on the face of which a Latin cross, 14ins long, is inscribed. The well still functions.
Nine yards to the SE are 24 cupmarks arranged along the twin narrow and parallel ridges of a boulder embedded in the beach. Other cupmarks are said to exist, both above the well and on various stones at the NE side of the same promontory but Beveridge was unable to find them.
