OS 23 (Precise location not discovered) 5. Described by Ó Muirgheasa in 1936 as 'There is a Holy Well under Cnoc Fola or Bloody Foreland. It has no name beyond Tobar Faoi Chnoc or Tobar Ailt na Peiste, but an occasional person still " walks " the turus. Twice each day the tide covers it, yet during ebb tide its water is said to be fresh. An old man over 100 years old never heard a saint's name on this well' (Ó Muirgheasa 1936, 152). (Ó Muirgheasa No. 51).
The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).
