What is recorded here

Half-buried in bracken and moss on the south bank of the River Lyre, the holy well in Nursetown More has gone dry, its stone edge lost under decades of growth. It may be the Tubbereentoneanodrough Well that Grove White wrote of in 1905, said to cure diseases though few troubled themselves to test it. Perhaps they knew better than to ask what it wanted back.

On S bank of River Lyre. Well now dry and densely overgrown. Possibly 'Tubbereentoneanodrough Well' referred to by Grove White (1905-25, vol. 3, 340) as possessing 'the power of curing diseases, but only few resort to it to try its effects'. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Linked to unspecified curative powers, the well was noted in the early 20th century for its ability to cure diseases, though it was rarely used. Local tradition may have associated it with a saint or spirit, but no specific name or detailed folklore has survived.
