What is recorded here

Tobermurry/Tobar Mhuire [Mary's Well]: A natural spring which is regarded as a holy well; no other tradition survives (Ó Danachair 1960, 70). Ó Danachair (1960, 70) recorded the following details about this well; 'A spring gushing from the rocks of a rough watercourse. Known to have been a holy well but no other tradition survives'. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 933. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013
