Part of na Seacht Teampaill. This well, correctly Tobar an Spioraid Naoimh, is situated to W of the path from Teampall Bhreacáin (GA110-010001-) to Teampall an Phoill (GA110-010003-), about halfway between these churches. It consists of a disused spring under an alder bush, to which bits of rag and string used to be tied as little votive offerings and charms (pers. comm. T. Robinson). Its position was misplaced by OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 388) and Waddell (1973, 26) (Robinson 1980). Not visited. A cross-slab (GA110-023007-) is associated.
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). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
