The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. Now overgrown and disused. Remembered locally as once being in holy use. 1840 OS name books recorded 'Tubar Parrinane, A holy well frequented on 24 August and is considered by the superstitious, capable of curing the ague'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
