Close to shore of Ross Lake c. 630m SE of St Annin's Church (GA068-024----). This well, correctly Tobar Ainthín, was noted by O'Flaherty in 1684 (Hardiman 1846, 54). It consists of a natural spring, dry at time of visit, delimited by a rectangular drystone wall (L c. 5m, Wth 3.8m). According to Killanin (1947, 123) it was resorted to on 18th January, St Annin's day. (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 146-7)
