In overgrown area, on S floodplain of River Blackwater. Area of well dry and overgrown. No longer in holy use. Recorded by Bowman (1934, 225) as holy well called 'Tobar-na-hAoine - Friday Well' where rounds were paid on Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the year. He adds that 'A hood is over this well being capped by a large flagstone, on which it is said mass was offered up during the Penal Days.' (ibid.). McCarthy (1991, 88) noted that mass was offered here 'in the bad times'.
