Holy well in Ballylaneen

Situated at the bottom of a NE-facing slope with a SSW-NNE stream c. 50m to the E and a W-E stream c. 90m to the N. This is a circular concrete well (diam. c. 1m) with a concrete shrine. It is within a rectangular enclosure defined by concrete walls. This is probably the Tobar Anna well known from the adjacent townland of Carrigcastle (Power 1952, 118). The well was re-opened in 1982.

Linked to Saint Gobnait, the well is traditionally associated with cures for eye ailments and infertility. The saint, known for her healing and beekeeping, is said to have founded a convent in the area, and the site reflects longstanding devotional practices involving water rituals and pilgrimage.
