In pasture, on E side of field fence. Well lined with wall of stone and cement. Wall built up on one side to encase flat unmarked slab. Metal cross mounted on top of wall. According to local information, 'visited in May and associated with Our Lady'. Local tradition that well moved to here from its original site at Crannavella Tree (14044) c. 1.4km to SW following use of well water for washing. Dunworth (1989, 51) names it 'Tobarineid that is St Sinnades well' and noted that it 'contained a cure for eye complaints and in the old days people with sore eyes used to come to it from far and near.' He (ibid.) also noted that it had a 'pattern day' but does not give a date.
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.
