The Churchtown graveyard is an endless multitude of graveslabs and family tombs, many of them are house shaped, making the place look like a town of the dead! The density of the burials reminds me of Burrane Lower.
To the west of the graveyard, in an adjacent field, there's a holy well whose structure, judging by the perfection of the building, must be relatively recent. A large circular dressed stone enclosure surrounds a stone paved area with a stone shrine in the centre. The wall has been adorned with several upright stones that makes the place look like it is crenellated. Beneath the shrine, there's the holy well, accessible with three steps from the northeast (30°) side.
