According to Ó Danachair (1955, 215) in this townland was a well named 'Tobar Mhichíl ... now used to supply water to Athea ... an old man, born in 1816, stated that his grandfather used to make rounds at this well' (ibid.). There is no well marked on the OS maps in the location given by Ó Danachair and an extensive search of the area did not reveal an such well nor is there any local knowledge of its existence.
