Tubrid, Holy Well — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Tubrid is a natural spring beneath a large boulder in County Cork, marked by two cup-cut stones on an eastern platform. It is no longer a holy well, yet the cups still hold rainwater like tiny bowls waiting for hands that have forgotten how to ask. The boulder does not breathe, but it rumbles when the wind shifts, as if remembering the weight of prayers it swallowed before people stopped believing rock could listen.

Natural spring rising from under large boulder, forming small pool. Bordering pool to E are number of flat stones forming platform; two are cup-marked (CO126-011001-; CO126-011003-). Well not in holy use. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
