In the SE corner of a field E of Dysert O’Dea church (CL025-091001-) and 240m SE of the high cross of St Tola (CL025-091094----). St Tola’s well or Tobar Bhanala. Stations were held here on the feast of St Tola, 30 March, for on that day in 734 ‘Tola died Bishop of Clonard’ (Swinfen 1992, 23). A circular spring well (2.2m N-S; 1.8m E-W) at the base of a S-facing rock outcrop with a stream proceeding S through a channel in the rock. There is no evidence of veneration. Westropp (1900-02, 141) noted that a double bullaun (CL025-097001-), extant in 1839, was not discoverable.
