The National Monuments Service's description
Bowman (1934, 113) recorded holy well named Tobairín a' tighe (little well of the house) in this townland, where 'Rounds discontinued for 30 years. Since the cessation of the rounds, people avoid the well - no use whatsoever being made of it.' (ibid.). Exact location not known.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
