The National Monuments Service's description
At base of steep-sided hill in grounds of Nazareth House, previously Dromore House. Pump house built over well; noted as supplying water to house by Grove White (1905-25 vol. 3, 340). According to Berry (1905, 36), OS Name Books list an 'Aunia's Well, formerly resorted to for cures'; he speculates this is probably 'Tobar-na-Faithnidhe (fauny), the well of the warts' (ibid.). Bowman (1934, 599) calls it 'Tobar Aine - St Anne's well...rounds have been discontinued for the past 50 years'.
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.
