What is recorded here

Tobar Chiaráin: This 'well' is simply a hollow in a rock where rain and sea-spray collect. It is situated beside Wine Strand and the turas which was formerly made here each day of May also included a visit to a well in the adjacent townland of Caherquin (An Seabhac 1939, 106; Ó Conchuir 1973, 44). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 915. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
