What is recorded here

Tobernacrohaneeve/Tobar na Croiche Naofa: This slablined holy well is located between two houses on the S side of West Main Street, Cahersiveen. It is covered by a relatively modern structure which is surmounted by an iron cross. A modern pump stands in front of the well. The OSNB recorded that a pattern was formerly held here on the 14th of September, and that rounds were also performed at the well on Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings (Caher, 46). See attached photographs of holy well courtesy of Amanda Clarke. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1057.
