The National Monuments Service's description
Tobar na bhFaithní: Dense vegetation obscures this well which is situated in poor, marshy land, on the E bank of a stream. The water apparently had curative powers but it is not known whether the well was ever considered holy (An Seabhac 1939, 103).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 916. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
