Holy well in Bobsville

Situated on a fairly level landscape. St. Kevin’s Well, which was restored in 1990, is across the road to the SW of the site of St. Caomhán's early church that became the medieval parish church of Diamor (ME015-056001-). It is a D-shaped corbelled structure (dims 1.15m x 0.9m; H 1.2m) c. 1m below the level of the road and it is the origin of a stream that flows off to the SW. Six steps lead down from the road to a cemented area (dims 2.6m NW-SE; 1.15-1.8m NE-SW) over the stream, and there is a young rag tree where the stream emerges from this patio. This is a replacement for an old ash tree that fell in 1971 (Moore and Kenny 1976, 33). The well is said to have cure for warts. No pattern is held at it presently, although the pattern day is 14th September (French 2012, 89).
