On the side of a trackway in the field NE of the bridge at Leenaun village. This well, correctly Tobar Muire, is now blocked up and totally obscured by growth. According to local tradition, it was frequented on 15th August, 'Pattern Fair' day, until 'travelling people washed their clothes in it and it seized up'. Now obliterated by new road (pers. comm. T. Robinson).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
