The National Monuments Service's description
Bowman (1934, 34) recorded holy well on Thomas Murphy's land; 'This is called Tobar na Suil (well of the eyes). Rounds, which were paid in May, have long since been discontinued. This well was dedicated to St Latherian.' Also recorded by Broker (1937, 34), who noted stream rising from well and flowing between 'Abha na gCealluir and Clarach an tSleibhe' (Claraghatlea North) into the Finnow River. 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.
