Some 20m S of a CBG (GA029-060001-) on the opposite, S, bank of a stream. The OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 26) noted the existence of 'a holy well called Tobar Garán, Tobbar-gauraun'. All that survives is a slight indentation in the bank of the stream. According to local information, it was originally surrounded by stone kerbing and local women would frequent it 'on the eve of every holy day of obligation'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
