Bowman (1934, 45) recorded holy well in T. Guiney's; 'Rounds have long since been discontinued. The well is enclosed by a circular fence. Two trees of mountain ash grew by the well. One of these has now decayed. It was customary for visitants to the well to take away some of the bark of the trees, as a preventative against toothache - the bark being rubbed to the sore tooth or gum.' Exact location not known.
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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
