  Description

  On a rocky hillslope close to the td. boundary and overlooking seashore to S. This well, correctly Tobar Cáillín, was noted by O'Flaherty in 1684 (Hardiman 1846, 110). It consists of a natural spring delimited by a low circular dry stone wall (1m by 0.8m), opening towards W. A small modern cross and some offerings bedeck the well. Immediately to SW is a penitential station: a subcircular setting of stones (3.5m by 3m) with a small cairn (H 0.3m) in W quadrant. Circa 20m to NNE is another setting of stones, oval in plan (5m by 3m), which is known as St Cáillín's Bed. Its grassy interior is littered with small pebbles used during the rounds, seven of which are made at this and the other penitential stations on 13th November, the saint's day.
