The National Monuments Service's description
Recorded by Bowman (1934, 569) as 'Tobar Geal - Bright Well...c. four and a half ft. in diam. It had a special cure for sore eyes, teeth and fingers. Rounds have been discontinued for the past 40 years. The Whitethorn tree, for the usual votive offerings, was cut down c. 25 years ago.' Well destroyed c. 1966 but spring still rises here.
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.
