What is recorded here

Tobergobnet/Tobar Ghobnaite: This spring well is located at the side of an old trackway about 200m SE of Killinane Church and graveyard (KE080-016001-). It is housed in a drystone-built, lintelled structure which is built into the slope. Three rough, cross-incised slabs are located in front of this structure. A pattern was formerly held here on the 3rd of March (OSL). See attached colour photographs of holy well courtesy of Amanda Clarke. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1070. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 30 July 2013
