KE053-056 Tobat Mich Il

Description

Tobermichael/Tobar Michíl: A spring well now surrounded by a concrete wall. A small cross-inscribed stone stands upright on the parapet of the nearby bridge. The stone is .32m high, .18m wide and .1m thick and its N and S faces bear plain Latin crosses. A pattern was formerly held here on Michaelmas day and rounds are still made by a few (Ó Danachair 1960, 74). This cross inscribed stone stands on the bridge on the left-hand side of the main Dingle Ventry road. The well is a few yards downhill, surrounded by a concrete wall. This was formerly painted cream. It has been painted blue and pink in 2020. Someone has also placed a seat nearby. A plaque to Rev Seamus Goodman, music collector, is only visible from the well side of the bridge.
