  Description

  Toberkieran/Tobar Chiaráin: This well is not now visible but it consisted of a small spring which lay below high water mark on Ventry Strand. Rounds were made here until at least the middle of the 19th century (OSNB Ventry, 27) and there is also a vague tradition of a former pattern (Ó Danachair 1960, 76). Ó Danachair (1960, 76) recorded the following details about this well; 'A spring below high tide mark on Ventry Strand at the boundary of the townlands of Caheratrant and Kilfarnoge. Rounds were made formerly and there is a vague tradition of a former pattern. Legend : A blind girl made her way to the well and was cured'. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 927.
