The National Monuments Service's description
Grove White (1905-25, vol. 3, 341) noted 'Toberbawn, at Danesfort', a holy well which was not frequented when he saw it in 1909, but was venerated as such. Bowman (1934, 594) recorded that well cured many diseases and although rounds were not paid, water was taken away. Probably same site as 'wart well' which was 'drained about 1905' by landowner (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.
