OS 6" map (1957)
St Ringan's Well, which is situated not far from Kirkcormack, is described by M'Kerlie as an oblong aperture, full of clear brown water, with a stone slab, which had been used as a cover, lying on one side, among nettles, grass and stones. St Ringan is a local variant of St Ninian.
E M H M'Kerlie 1916; W J Watson 1926
St Ringan's Well has been filled in and the water piped into an open tank about 50.0m to the SW. The name is still in local use.
