- There is a wall at the foot of an ash tree in the church field, in Flanagan's land in Cookstown. This field borders the Ratoath road on one side and a little river divides it from Johnny Duffy's land.
No one visits the well nor are there any local customs connected with it.
The Beggy family use the water for household purposes and Flanagan has arranged a pipe from the well to a cement trough to let the water flow into the trough to provide water for his cattle.
