Tobernamanfune/Tobar na mBan Fionn: This spring well issues from the foot of a slight scarp in Carhan Woods on the N slopes of Bentee mountain. A series of stepping stones cross a stream at the approach to the well. Rounds were formerly made here, and local tradition holds that crying goddesses gather at the well on the 1st of May.
