What is recorded here
Tobar a tSagairt is a well in Bawnfune (glenahiry By.), County Waterford, Ireland. The 1927 edition of the OS 6-inch map marked it as Fr. Sheehy's Well, naming a local priest who served Clogheen, County Tipperary, during Penal times. The source records the well on a south-facing slope beside the west bank of a north-south stream, but it does not survive and was not considered a holy well.
