• MO028-114 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated on a level low-lying landscape. It is described as 'Tober Lasair' in gothic script on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It survives as a natural spring surrounded by stones with the foundations of a small structure (dims c. 1m square) immediately to the W. St. Lasair was a female saint about whom little is known but whose pattern was held on 18th of April (Ó Riain 2011, 392). In the folk tradition Lasair has become masculine. Pilgrimages were still taking place here on the first Sundays of May and August in 1937 (IFC Schools MSS 931, 7-8, 11, 373), for which see this web-page accessed on 11/12/2017: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4758584/4756632 The well is no longer in use.
