The National Monuments Service's description
According to Lee (1966, 19) 'Tobar na Lobhar (the well of the Lepers)' is traditionally believed to be the place where lepers lived, 'using the water of the well'. Exact location not known.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
