What is recorded here

Some 50m SW of Teampall na Seacht Mac Rí (GA119-081001-). Noted by O'Flaherty in 1684 (Hardiman 1846, 86), it is known locally as Tobar Chinndeirge and dedicated to the saint of that name (Robinson 1980). It consists of a natural spring delimited by a low subcircular drystone wall (D 2.7m). (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 214) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'.

Dedicated to Saint Cinnéide (Cinndeirge), the well is associated with healing traditions and is linked to a 7th-century monastery nearby. Local tradition holds that the saint was a female holy figure, and the site may have been an important place of pilgrimage in early Christian times.
