Tobernacrusha/Tobar na Croise (Well of the cross): This well lies a short distance E of the village and is now contained within a concrete structure. Rounds were formerly made here for the purpose of curing sick cattle (OSM) and there was also a cross-inscribed stone at the well (An Seabhac 1939, 81).
Ó Danachair (1960, 77) recorded the following details about this well; ' "Tobernacrusha" on 1842 map; "Tobar na Croise" - local. A stone on which a cross was carved stood at this well formerly'.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 940. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
