What is recorded here

Toberahoonanara/Tobar an Chapaill: This well is located immediately SW of Caherboshina village, at the foot of the E slopes of Lateevemore. It is now used as a water source for domestic or farmyard purposes and is provided with a rough, concrete surround. However, there is a vague tradition of former devotions (Ó Danachair 1960, 77).

The Photographic Collection, F025.18.00278 accessible online at https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbeg/16876. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 928. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
