What is recorded here

Tubbercooragh a Glynna, the holy well in Lisleagh, still holds its D-shaped stone chamber on the east bank of a steep wooded stream. People once crowded there to cure sore eyes, but the water has gone quiet under centuries of moss and forgotten prayers. The cliff face and low wall still guard the basin, waiting for someone reckless enough to drink from what the valley kept hidden.

On E bank of stream, in steep-sided wooded valley. D-shaped well (3.5m N-S; 2m E-W) enclosed by stone wall (H 1.75m; Wth 0.5m) S->N and by low cliff face on E side. Overgrown and abandoned. In similar condition when visited by Grove White (1905-25, vol. 1, 140) who noted that '...formerly it was much frequented for the cure of sore eyes' and '...according to OS Field Book of 1840, it is called Tubbercooragh a Glynna holy well'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
