What is recorded here

Keatings Well/Tobar Chéitinn: According to An Seabhac (1939, 123), this is not a holy well. However, an alternative name for the site is 'Tobar Naomh Céitinn’ (Ó Danachair 1960, 78) and there is a local tradition that rounds were made here 'hundreds of years ago'. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 955. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013

Keatings Well, also known as Léim Fhir Léith, is associated with Saint Céitinn, and the site has been the focus of local traditions involving healing rituals. The well’s dual naming and references in historical sources suggest a blending of pre-Christian and Christian practices in the area.
