Toberteh/An Tobar Te (the warm well): This well is now very overgrown but it has previously been described as 'a rapid spring about 5 feet (1.5m) in diameter' (OSNB Kilmalkedar, 34) and more recently as a 'marshy hollow' (Ó Danachair 1960, 74). Stations were performed at it until about 1810 or 1820 (OSNB). It is located in the corner of a field at the foot of the NE slopes of Lateevemore.
