According to the OS Letters (1840) the well was located ‘on the north bank of the River Ara, at the rear of Mr. O’Leary’s House, the front of which is the Main Street of Tipperary, very near Bridge Lane. There is an entrance by a gateway from the latter lane to the yard in which the well was situated. This well was closed up by Mr. O’Leary about eleven and a half years ago [c. 1829]’ (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 3, 33-4 (99)). Tradition states that the town got its name from this well which was called ‘Tiobrad Áran’ (ibid.). Locally it is asserted that a bakery had been built upon the well. The precise location of this well is unknown.
