What is recorded here

This is marked on the 1842 and 1916 OS maps as 'Toberlackan' (Tobar Leacan - well of (the) hillside). Situation and Description: This well would seem to have been situated in a circular enclosure (KE014-020004-) on the 1842 map. However, by the 1916 map, very little of the enclosure would appear to be left. Directly behind the holy well lies a complex of underground chambers (KE014-020002-). Possibly this was some type of ancient burial place which was later Christianised by St Lacken. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 908. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
