The National Monuments Service's description
According to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 359-60) there was a holy well called Tobar Cholmáin that had a cure for sore eyes within a furlong (c. 200m) of the church (WX040-022001-) at Yoletown, but its location is not known. It was dedicated to one of the many saints of that name (Ó Riain 2011, 183-208).
