First, what are the contact distances?  If you're talking something like
2.8-3.4, then it could be an oxygen atom.
Second, I assume that you're stating 1sigma in a sigma-weighted 2mFo-nFc
map. The difference map peaks will probably be higher, like around 4-8
sigma.
Third, put it in as a water, and refine the B's and coordinates. Is the
refinement stable, and are the B's reasonable?
