Toberagrahig/Tobar an Ghrathaigh: Located in sloping woodland on the N shore of Kenmare Bay, this is a rock-cut hemispherical hollow, .4m in diameter. It is locally regarded as a holy well and curative powers are attributed to its waters. The OSNB recorded that rounds were made here on Saturdays (Templeno, 46), while the IFC Schools' Collection indicated that it was visited on Good Friday.
