What is recorded here

According to John O’Donovan writing c. 1840 (O’Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 359-60) there was a holy well called Tobar Cholmáin that had a cure for sore eyes within a furlong (c. 200m) of the church (WX040-022001-) at Yoletown, but its location is not known. It was dedicated to one of the many saints of that name (Ó Riain 2011, 183-208). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 21 February, 2013

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
