On N shore of Loch Fhormaoil. Known locally as An Tobar Beannaithe or Tobar na bhFaithní, it consists of a small natural hole (D 0.2m) on the lake margin which runs horizontally into the rock for c. 0.3m and contains some coins. A couple of small stones on a nearby boulder is the only marker for the well which was reputed to have a cure for warts (info. T. Robinson). Not visited.
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).
